how to encode avi file with ogg sound

[RH]

I've got an avi file with .ogg sound, and it's not possible to open the file in virtualdub, tmpegenc or cce. How can i convert the movie to mpeg-2 ??

I have tried to search for articles everywhere but found nothing so far...

It seems your confusing terms. Ogg is a container somewhat like avi only more robust. Vorbis is the most common audio that we put in an Ogg container.

So your question is unclear for the moment. Do you have an Ogg Vorbis audio file? If this is a complete Ogg movie file then I'm not sure how you might go about converting the streams to MPEG-2. Perhaps this isn't possible for Ogg media.

Moving to proper AV section.

It is possible that this file has the filename extension ".avi" to be recogniseable by media players, but instead it is an Ogg Media file - the internal file structure is different; therefore no AVI editor can understand it, but it is playable via DirectShow. If you have a stable and simple text viewer (I'd recommend the one in the FAR manager (http://www.rarsoft.com), a great Win32 Norton Commander clone), you can try to look briefly at the file header - AVIs start with "RIFF" and "AVI", OGMs have a different header with much more readable text.

I guess that you might be able to split the streams of this OGM file into separate audio and video streams with an OggSplit tool - I hope this is containied in any Ogg Vorbis package (but I cannot verify this right here, sorry). In general, Ogg Vorbis tools are available at the Vorbis site (http://www.vorbis.com), or at the RareWares site (http://www.inf.ufpr.br/~rja00/).

It indeed sounds like he got ahold of an OGG movie that was renamed by some joker so an inferior P2P program like Kazaa would recognise it. You could also use Graphedit off of Doom9's download page. Tell it ro render the media file and you will see instantly what it really is. Also you will be able to convert the file in Graphedit as well.

Hi RH,

I think you have to split the AVI file (should be OGM)
into AVI sound-less and OGG audio use the GraphEdit.

Convert back the OGG->WAV or OGG->MP2,
then you could convert AVI sound-less + WAV or MP2 into
MPEG.

Hope it may help.
