Hi,

I am having an avi file which has and H263 video stream. I want to
extract video elementary stream from it. I tried looking at the
documentation but didnt find anything relevant.
Is it possible to do it ?

Regards

Is it correct to say you want to remove audio streams?
If so, look at "-vcodec copy" and "-an" options.

I was able to de-mux some avi files using the following command

ffmpeg -i test042.avi -vcodec copy -an test042.263

But for some streams it is returning

Unable to find a suitable output format for 'test042.263'

I guess the avi file is not in correct format or is there issue with
the command that I am using

Try another container! I didn't find a definitive guide to "what
can contain what". You should try ".mov" (QuickTime).

I have found this link to be useful for "what can contain what":
