OGM questions

[iparout]

Hi.

1) I have an ogm file and I have noticed that everytime I try to seek through it using the time slider, the pictures becomes very blocky for a few seconds before turning back to normal. I read the FAQ where it said that it is normal for it to happen, however the FAQ is almost 2 years old, so I was wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening.

I have installed the RadLight Ogg Media DirectShow filter v1.0.0.2 version 0.9.9.5 of the Ogg DSF.

2) Is there any way to change the ogm and make it avi ? I tried VirtualdubMod version 1.5.10, however the audio is totally off synch with the video in the outcome avi file.

Any help ?

Thanks in advance.

You can make it an avi by recompressing the sound with i.e. cbr mp3.

The issue with the blocking after seeking derives from jumping to frames which aren't keyframes or better without searching the last keyframe before the position and decoding from there. In the "original" splitter from Tobias you can select the seeking behaviour in the filter properties, in the radlight filter this feature is still missing.

Oh, yes. I believe this issue will be fixed in the upcoming release. Right now we're busy with some other stuff ;) In the meantime make your player use the Tobias' splitter.

I have this OGM file has subtitle. i use River Past Video Cleaner to convert it back to Xvid/divx .avi but it didn't come with subtitle. there is no option in it.

Koepi: recompressing mp3 of OGM, HOW?

is there other program that can convert it to xvid .avi?

[celtic_druid]

mencoder.exe -oac mp3lame -ovc copy input.ogm -o output.avi
That is assuming the source has XviD video. The subs will be lost, but you can demux them with ogmdemuxer, then just leave them external, mux with AVIMuxGUI or whatever.

Oh yeah, defaults for lame are not CBR, so if you want CBR you need to use -lameencopts to set it.

Ok, I instaled what I believe is the tobias splitter you are talking about (OggDS0995.exe), however I can't seem to find the filter properties in order to fix the problem. The files where automatically installed in the System32 directory when I ran the exe, but there's no executable to adjust the properties of the filter in the system32 folder... I'm using Windows Media Player, to what it's worth...

BTW, I know this question is silly...

Press "Start", then "Run", type in "mplayer2.exe" and hit OK.

On the appearing mplayer window you should drop an OGM-file which then gets rendered. Right-click on the playing video and select "properties". The third tab (the most right one) shows you the filters used for playback. There choose the OggSplitter, press the "properties" button and select the seeking-behaviour (you might want to use "search to keyframe").

I never thought these basics can be complicated.

Heh, I didn't have any idea about that.

Thanks, it worked.

follow it and get to choose the OggSplitter. but no OggSplitter there :confused:

[Koepi]

Then you don't use OggDS filters but other ones.

i'm not quite understand what you're trying to say. :confused:

there is no OggSplitter in there and what am i suppose to do now?

Did you try converting the OGM to MKV with mkvtoolnix already ?

[Koepi]

Multicone, it is obvious you really, really like matroska - this is OK, but westcam didn't ask about it. There's no indication whatsoever that mkv would help his situation as mkv isn't avi.

It seems he wants to convert it to AVI (yes, AVI) for hardware/standalone playback.

westcam:

download virtualdubmod. open the ogm with it. set video to dirct stream copy. go to the streams menu, select the "stream list", then the right click the audio stream, set it to "full processing mode", select "compression" and set it to mp3.

To "burn in" the subtitles is an advanced task, you should just demux the text-stream from the stream list, name it like the videofile an give it the suffix "srt", i.e. if you call the movie "mymovie1.avi" name the subs "mymovie1.srt". There are some players out there which can handle that.

[westcam]

Yes Koepi, i just want the .AVI so it can playback in the dvd/divx player (hardware)

it can demux the subtitle but in the "select Audio Compression" window, i selected the MPEG Layer-3 but nothing is add to right hand box even though i tick "show all format". it keep show the message no audio compression could be found to decompress. why NO audio compression?? if i was to use AutoGk it load all this virtualdub etc.. and compress/decompress audio and every went fine.

very very frustrating but thank for trying to help.

Did you try mencoder?

[westcam]

Did you try mencoder?

no i didn't try it. what is it mencoder.

ohh god. i find this very confusing and while read those hundered pages of video/xvid/encoding/etc.. very very frustrating.

please don't point me out to read something else :cool:
