mplayer/ogmtools: Can't find the good packet!

[greycortex]

Hello everyone!

I gave ogmtools a shot in muxing together a rip I did of Tenchi Universe. I'm using two vorbis streams, an xvid avi, and an srt file. It plays ok and delivers no errors until I try to perform a seek operation in mplayer. It freezes up for a bit and then I get the message:

EOF while trying to seek !!!!
Can't find the good packet :(

Any ideas?

Best regards,

GC

I don't use OGM and have never had that error, but you could try to rebuild the index with the "-forceidx" option. This will force mplayer to rebuild the index, without actually changing the file itself.

Good luck ;)

I get the same problem, except it says:

Exiting: End of file.

I can get this to work with oggmux in Windows, but I have to reboot everytime or figure out WINE.... Arrgh!

So... Any ideas?

I don't know what's going on, but it works now. :| I'll try to figure it out, and post my results here.

The problem was caused by an AVI that was corrupted by an earlier version of VirtualDubMod. I had a different AVI of the same source that was muxed properly by oggmux, which I could strip out with ogmdemux and combine with the appropriate audio with ogmmerge. I apologize for this, I thought I had tried everything when I should have just checked my sources.
