Some tools for Ogg Media files

[AmiRage]

New topic: OGMerger! :D

I just recognized that when merging OGMs with and without chapter info, the chapter info is dropped when the first to be merged part has no own chapter info.

Is it possible to get an option to merge with ignoring all chapter info and/or to set an chapter entry on each beginning of the to be merged parts?! :)

It is normal there are some CPU (or memory) load peaks. At certain times during processing I store "some" information in memory, and there is a time when I need to free this memory (=> CPU load peak / for example between "first pass" and "second pass").
Then there are certain times (when I am to create a new file or to open the input file) when I need to allocate a big buffer (8MB) and fill it (=> memory peak / CPU load peak too) :)

If I correct the bug concerning chapters will this be enough ? :D

BTW ... how about renumbering of present chapters on merge? :D

Update: Any idea why Windows Media Player 6.4 closes itself on a former cut when playing a merged OGM with OggDS 0.9.9.5 while this works with 0.9.9.4?

I'd really like to use OGM, but there are still a lot of problems for me. :confused:

[Suiryc]

@AmiRage
I corrected some bugs in OGMerger concerning comments merging. Should work better now :)
No idea why there are problems WMPalyer 6.4 ... Does it also happen with other players ?
(Will see if I do not write "bad" things with the merger ....)

I now updated OGMuxer (and re-updated OGMCutter :) ) concerning cutting subtitles that lasts too much time (or where there is too much time between two subtitles). I hope I didn't screw up anything :rolleyes:

Other players more or less play the OGM, but BSPlayer crashes on exit (unhandled exception) and ZoomPlayer crashes too on exit (access violation in ntdll.dll and afterwards an endless loop of access violations in OggDS.dll). And this also happens with my original OGMs muxed with OGMuxer (... and as "always" no such problems when using 0.9.9.4 so far).

I don't think that it's your (tools') fault.

When reporting problems in the appropriate thread noone seems to care at all or the players are blamed. I'll try your newest version (Thanks!!) and when still having problems I'll most likely cancel my further experiments with OGM for now.

[AmiRage]

The chapter integration now works with your latest release version when the first input file has no chapters! Thanks!

"Warnning in Packetizer::process_buffer_packet (Packetizer.cpp) @ 447 : Trying to process buffered Packet while there is no Packet in buffer!"

... is this anything to worry about?

For me yes ;). This warning tell me there is something I did wrong ...
For you this should not mean big problem.

Hey,

Could this ( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36847 ) be a problem cause my ogmuxer? Or is it related to the subtitle filter?

[Suiryc]

This recall me a bug that occured at the beginning (before I released it) with OGMuxer, but that I fixed a long time ago (before I released the first version).

This also recalled me another thread (see my answer to your post) where it seems there was a problem of SubtiDS not properly installed, and maybe a conflict with DVobSub.

[Apfelstruhdl]

Just tried the tools. Great work. Especially the kframe accurate cutting option.

but would it be possible to add to oginfo all tags that have been set for a stream??

You mean the comments for the stream (like "TITLE=...", "LANGUAGE=...", ...)? To saw them just use the -v3 option in command line. (the comments should be part of the second Packet in the stream).

[Apfelstruhdl]

k
but could you add them also at the end in the info section.
as i like to use oginfo without any v option as i can't do anything with the first info :rolleyes: and with v3 th log will be very long afaik

[Suiryc]

Luckily everything was already in place to print the comments in the info section :).
OGMInfo 1.3b2 is on the site.

[Apfelstruhdl]

thx

really fast reaction on wishes of customers :D :D :D

every company should do it like that

[Suiryc]

v1.1a1 of OGMuxer is online.
What's new :
- uses a basic XML-like parser to read the setup file
- this allows the use of another type (with more options) of setup file (see OGMuxer.txt and Setup-New.omx).
- with this new setup file you can force the type of a file
- apply an offset (like in VDub)
- and add your own comments

[Selur]

@Suiryc: Could u please add the "Strg+Alt+J" feature from nanDub into VirtualDubMod? (u enter a size in MB and nanDub jumps to the next keyframe which lies under your size limit)

Cu Selur

Ps.: I love your tools!! Great work man!!

It will be in the next release.
Next time could you use the "tracker -> feature request" section on SourceForge page please ? This way it may be easier for us to keep a trace of what people wants :D

Thanks :)

[Selur]

"It will be in the next release."
Cool, thx!!

"Next time could you use the "tracker -> feature request" section on SourceForge page please ?"
Sure,.. hadn't seen it before, but will use it next time, promised :)

Hi.

I'm trying to mux a video and three audios with OGMuxer and aply a -3200ms delay to the third ogg audio, but in the final ogm there is no delay.

My setup.omx is:


<input file="C:\Tmp\_DVD_\eXistenZ.avi">
<comment name="TITLE">eXisteZ</comment>
<comment name="DIRECTOR">David Cronenberg</comment>
<comment name="YEAR">1999</comment>
<comment name="FPS">25</comment>
</input>

<input file="C:\Tmp\_DVD_\t01 (0db center downmix).ogg">
<comment name="LANGUAGE">English</comment>
</input>

<input file="C:\Tmp\_DVD_\t02 (0db center downmix).ogg">
<comment name="LANGUAGE">Español</comment>
</input>

<input file="C:\Tmp\_DVD_\eXistenZ-divX-deutsch.ogg" delay="-3200">
<comment name="LANGUAGE">Deutsch</comment>
</input>

<output file="f:\eXistenZ.ogm">
<title>eXistenZ</title>
</output>


Is it correct?

Or is that the delay is not yet implemented? I have read that there are some problems with delays.

[Suiryc]

My error :(

I made a last change in the code but already had written the file ... so in fact you have to use offset="-3200" instead of delay="-3200" ^^'

PS : beware you wrote eXisteZ (not ExistenZ) for the title ;)

OK, now it works, thanks (and good work)

btw, the title of the movie is 'eXistenZ' (David Cronenberg), but thanks anyway :)

[Suiryc]

lol that's what I said, and I warned you that in the .omx file you used eXisteZ as title (instead of eXistenZ)

OK :D
I thought you mean the X and Z :)

[Suiryc]

Latest release of OGMuxer (1.1a2) allow stream discarding in AVI/OGM files (except the video stream in the AVI file).
Usefull when you only want to get the video stream of the AVI :)

[Loul]

After loosing so much time to get how to mux vbr mp3 into ogm files I finnally got it that Ogmux couldn't do it and won't do it as the developper doesn't want to implement that function.

Then I got that Suiryc developped that great Ogmuxer tool.

So far it seems to work great... except that it doesn't seem to allow you to tag the different streams especially the audio ones.

For instance when I mux a non audio avi with 2 vbr mp3 streams, I end up with a working ogm file but when you clik on the usual icon in the taskbar to swap between audio streams you got those named 1, 2 (etc.).

I'd like to have then named English and French (for instance) but the tagging option doesn't seem to exist in Ogmuxer, am I right ?

And if so would it be possible to add those simple functions ?

After doing some more searches it seems that you could tag existing ogm files with virtualdubmod (any other mean available ?).

Strangely when I load Ogmuxer muxed files in virtualdub no sound is playing even you can see that the two audio streams exist by using the Ogm information & Show inputs command in the menus.
Audio comments and Audio comments 2 menus are greyed ...

Again is it normal ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Is it today possible to have vbr mp3 muxed with TAGGED audio streams ?
By what means ?

Many thanks, I'm drowning under so many Doom9 threads. I'm going to have an aspirin :'(

[Manao]

You should read the setup-new.omx ( it is a text file ) which comes with the last version of ogmuxer. It allows all kind of tags. But if you want a more friendly interface, use VirtualDubMod

For VDubMod, it can't play sound. If the ogm file plays fine with a player, there is no problem.

For tagged mp3, it is possible : you put themt in ogm, with VDubMod or ogmuxer, and you tag them

[Loul]

Thanks for your indication Manao.

Ok it's in that omx file (well I wouldn't have guessed it), it's far from crystal clear for me but the example that can be found on page 11 of this thread is much clearer.

Anyway I finally got how to do it in VdubMod, so that's great :-).

Now it's time for me to risk to face the moderator's wrath but I feel that following the evolution of the different projects discussed in doom9 through the search engine is quite difficult especially for non developpers (you end up browsing numerous endless and complicated threads from their start in search of a simple answer).

It would be SO good if there would be a monthly summary could made for each big project.

For instance I can't get it if anybody succeeded in achieving muxing 5.1 ogg streams into ogm files and having them playback well.

I found some threads on the subject but they are long and old.

#doom9 is great but much people there are much more into dvd-r and don't know much about new a/V formats.
#pcdvd and #divx-rippers are not very talkative (to say the least).

So well don't be to rude with people trying to get up to date :-)

Anyway, I'd like to thanks everybody, and long life to doom9 !

As far as I'm concerned, it's been a while I gave up the idea of muxing AC3 5.1 in OggMedia container : too much attempts... and nothing really satisfactory.
Now I'm waiting patiently for Matroska :p

[i've read the readme.txt and this thread, but found no answer; so if it's an easy one, sorry...]

i'm about to do my first 2cd rip into .ogm, so i have one big file; when i cut the movie, will the subtitles work right or will i need to split them with an external tool and then mux them?

[Manao]

It will work, but you have to use the last version of ogmcutter ( or vdubmod ).

[JimiK]

I'm quite sure it will split the subs correctly. This is really a great set of programms. If I does not, you can still use VirtualDubMod to split your OGMs. It will split the subs correctly for sure.
Best regards,
JimiK
Edit: O.K. Manao, you win, and it didn't even take me five minutes to answer. ;)

[_TAG_]

a huge thanks to all... the fastest response time in history...
if ASUS had this customer care responsiveness they'd be a real company... :D

[Beave]

I actually wrote an email to ASUS in July 2001, they replied in December 2002...

Sorry of topic, but somehow fitted here.

[Suiryc]

^^
OK since some people bugged me those last weeks :p I released a new version of OGMuxer (1.1a4).
What's new :
Version 1.1a4
- added DTS as new possible input
Nb : you need the Intervideo Audio decoder (with DTS support) and a 'AVI<->AC3/DTS'
filter to be able to play the generated OGM file with the DTS track.
You need a valid DTS track. Be warned that vStrip doesn't seem to correctly demux
DTS tracks from VOB files (and thus those files won't be muxed correctly). VOBRator
seems OK. Didn't tested with other programs (e.g. SmartRipper or DVDDecrypter).
DTS tracks using a 14 bits format aren't supported.
I only had short (sample) DTS files to test this and it seemed OK. So use at your
own risks and don't expect it to work flawlessly each time.
As you can see you should be able to play a bit with DTS.


Have fun

[curna]

Well, I was using OGMerger yesterday and I can confirm there is a bug with subtitles when merging.

I first create one 1400 MB file, with chapters and subs. Then I divided it using virtualdubmod in two 700 MB files. However, I had to merge those two parts once again.

My problem is that in the merged file, the subs where only those from the second file and where displayed during the first part.


P.S: Thanks for the tools, Suiryc

[mosky7]

very nice
