it would be good to mention what type this file is. What program created it and with what application you open it, and where did you find it.

Its a movie wrapped in the Matroska multimedia container.

First you have to demux the streams (audio and video). I think this can be done with mkvtoolnix. http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
Then you have mux the streams into a container that iTunes can handle, ex. avi, mpg or mov. I think this can be done in mencoder: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
