Converting OGM to AVI

[SSJ4_Vegeta]

I've done a few ogm encodes but i've never actually converted one before. I followed this guide on vcdhelp.com http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/userguides/89139.php and i got this error... http://www.gta.igs.net/~sanchez/Error.JPG
I was wondering if graphedit is the only way to convert to avi and if not how do i fix this prob i have?

Never done this before, but you can always use VirtualDubMod.
You open your OGM there, put everything on direct stream copy, and save as AVI.

Hey i did what you said and i was able to get the video but it tells me there is no audio. I know there is audio.

Use Cyrius's OGM Demuxer Tool

http://cyrius.bunkus.org/

Could you explain how to use it? I click the application but all i get is a command prompt and it disappears right away to fast to take a screen shot of it. This is what the OGMCutter_1.0a4.rar file contained...

I just clicked the application :o i'm not sure how to even run dos. Is that how this works?

http://www.gta.igs.net/~sanchez/ogmdemux.JPG Well this link leads to the image(not sure why it doesn't show it as an img) of the dos i think i did it right. It created the avi file(video) and ogg file(audio).
I can open the video in vdub. But not sure where it is that i am supposed to open the ogg audio.

[SSJ4_Vegeta]

Hmm i guess the problem i was having from the start was that the audio is .ogg so whould i ask in the audio encoding forum? I'll check back this afternoon. Thanks to all that helped i learned quite a bit.

You can also use VDubMod. Just open the OGM, then go to OGM->show inputs. Click the audio stream you want to demux and hit the button "demux".

Heh thanks guess now i know how to fully use both to get avi video and ogg audio, but i still dunno how to convert the ogg audio to say ac3 or any type that opens in vdub so i can add it to the avi video.

I believe the newest version of besweet will convert vorbis audio (in the ogg) to other formats (mp3 etc.)

[SSJ4_Vegeta]

I tried out the new besweet and it does have the options to go from ogg to ac3,wav.mp3... but for each one i get this error...

Sorry, I thought VDubMod could mux Ogg into an Avi (never did this before). Just a stupid question: why do you want to convert it to Avi anyways?
Well, however, you could first convert your ogg-file to wave using t.ex. the diskwriter output plugin from winamp. This should be lossless. Then you could recompress it to mp3. But remember: transcoding is always lossy (t.ex you cannot get a better movie by converting Mpeg1 to XviD) and Mp3 has inferior quality compared to Ogg.

In the end i want to make these into svcds. I don't think there is away without going to avi first. But if i can convert ogg -> wav then thats what i need. But i don't care if i lose quality in sound.

[SSJ4_Vegeta]

I responded from my school before so i only tried looking for t.ex today but haven't found it. Could you give me link to the download. I just tried to open the ogg in winamp but it didn't play it. I have zoomplayer as defualt so never noticed till now.

[Hiro2k]

Besweet can also convert ogg > wav

Then you can use besweet again to make your MP2 file for you SVCD. Or you can use it to make an AC3 or whatever else you want.

I'm glad you learned how to use dos ;)

And FYI you can't use ogg vorbis audio files in AVI container. That's why the OGM container was created.

[SSJ4_Vegeta]

Well i couldn't find t.ex or figure out the error i was getting with besweet so i did a search on download.com for ogg to wav and found this... http://www.ogg-converter.com/oggsetup.exe. It converts ogg-> wav,mp3,wma. Or vice versa. Pretty simple to use program but only bad thing its and evaluation program and only works for 10 conversions :(.

Anyone know what this means i can play the ogm just fine but when it loads up in vdubmod, when it gets to about 90% it gives me this error.
