Problem with two (OGG) sound AVIs - can anyone help me ?

[Vladca]

1.--------
I make AVI with two sound (2x VBR MP3) inside and create *.GRF files using GraphEdit for playing AVI with MicroDVD Player 1.2.

My system is ! WinXP ! - everything OK, video playing and audio streams too by switching "L" in MDVDP. :)

But in ! Win2000 ! MDVDP does't play this AVI !!! :(
Error message "Unknown A/V file." I do not know why ???

Anyone knows??? :confused:

2.--------
How can I split AVI with OGG to two independent files ???
For example 1400MB ---> 2x 700MB. It is possible ???

And if I have AVI with two OGG ??? Can I split them to two files ???

Nandub failed with this baby, GraphEdit too.
I really disapointed from this :(

Anyone knows how do that ???

Thanks ....

I another check proces of creation *.GRF files and here is result:

If I create *.grf on system with DirectX 8.0 (4.08.00.0400), movie does't run system with DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0810).

And if create *.grf on DX8.1 I cannot play movie on DX8.0.

I understand why ???? DX version 8.0 and 8.1 is not compatible ??
Or DSfilters with this DXs doesn't work same and correctly ???

Anyone has an idea how fix this problem ???

Thanks ...

Using .GRF files doesn't seem a stable or flexible method to use dual language movies.

If you are talking about real AVIs (not OGG container renamed), this format officially doesn't support variable bitrate (VBR) audio.
So, VBR MP3 audio tracks sounds well (good synch) in AVI almost due to a lucky trick (Nandub) than a real feature.
Nandub do this job muxing in every frame the right portion of MP3 audio but this work only for MP3, Vorbis support in Nandub never left the alpha stage (doesn't play) and its Vorbis mux options can be useful for you only to obtain the size of certain areas (frames) selected and SAVED from a movie.
(you can find the right split point saving pseudo AVIs with video and Ogg Vorbis and keeping account of the size :cool: for CD1 and CD2)
Splitting AVIs+Vorbis with Nandub (the unique working tool) do not produre any working files too.

Talking about real .OGG movies (or .OGM) at this time there isn't any tool to split this files, the best way is to use Nandub to know the exact split points, keep note of time, select entire WAV as input, save relative WAVs (for any section that you select in Nandub) and encode them separately to Ogg Vorbis.
Of course you must save partial AVIs and then join them with Vorbis tracks using graphedit.

Sorry :(, I would be more clear... :o

P.S.:
At this page http://www.inf.ufpr.br/~rja00/ogg.html you can find the fastest Ogg encoder (ICL compiled) for P2-P3-P4, Athlon ;) and Duron (no quality compromises :)).

correction

this new program URLed by Doom9 can easy calculate split points

I maked 2CD AVI with OGG ( Avi + Wav, split, extract wavs, encode wavs to OGG, mux AVI + oggs by Grapheditor) .. everything seems OK, but my MicroDVD 1.2 doesn't show subtitles .... why ????

And also if I muxing AVi(no sound) with OGG stream in Nandub 1.0RC2/OGGRC3 ... final file is not playable due to invalid format ... I really don't now why ....

Can you help me ???
