fix unknow media file?
I have an media file. I can use a powerful player play it, but I can't drag it. The player can't detect the length of the file. Though the file name is an avi file. But I can't use serveral avi fixer fix it. These fixer programme said the file is not an avi file. When I drag during playing, it'll play from the begining.
So, I'd like to know how should I fix this file. Thanks! |

How can I convert it to another type file like WMV or RM? It seem I need to fix it first. Because the video convert programme can't convert this file now. I don't know how to use the VirtualDub. |

No, actually, from what I see there, I don't think it's an AVI file at all. Your video and audio (if any) are in an .OGM (Ogg Media) container (which GSpot doesn't parse further, hence the lack of additional info).
What you should do now is download and install the Haali Media Splitter, sometimes called the Haali Matroska Splitter. The main site seems down right this sec, for some reason, but there are plenty of others places to get it , e.g. here After you install that, you should then be able to play your file in Windows Media Player or almost anything else. If that works, re-open it in GSpot and press the "1" MS render button again - it should tell you what you're streams are composed of. You could also just download the Windows version of VLC, which will likely just play your file by itself, even without the Haali splitter. If either of those work, you should be able to losslessly demux your audio and video streams out of the OGM container and into something more widely supported, like AVI, although the best container selection will depend on what type of streams are in there. But first things first: see if either of the above two methods lets you view your file. Last edited by stegre; 19th January 2008 at 03:36. Reason: typos |

kunkun0217, use other info tools too - example MediaInfo.
It's OGG or OGM? It's different. Maybe contained Theora video... I'm think Theora and Vorbis not match to AVI container. Vorbis in AVI, it's possible - but Theora... You can use other players instead VLC - example SMPlayer (MPlayer) or The KMPlayer. [EDIT] Quote:
You can use FFmpeg or MEncoder and some GUI's for this encoders - example MediaCoder, WinFF, AutoMen, ... Or You can use Avisynth script (DirectShowSource) and VirtualDub. But, if it's OGM with Xvid or DivX video and Vorbis audio - recompress video is unnecessary - just recompress audio and change container. Last edited by Placio74; 19th January 2008 at 09:41.

Example...
Demux streams to AVI (with Xvid video stream) and OGG (Vorbis audio) used OGMcleaver. You can recompress audio (or decompress do PCM WAV), and mux with AVI. Then i'n not see any problem to use Window Media Encoder, RealProducer and other apps. Of course possible other ways... You can use FFmpeg, MEncoder, some GUI's for this encoders; Avidemux; Avisynth script and some apps;... |
