[OGM] Weird display with subs

[chaotik]

Hi ppl,

I've been trying to create an OGM stream containing the following:

- One DivX 4.12 video stream
- Three stereo 44.1 KHz OGG audio streams
- And 2 .srt subs

Muxing these streams into an OGM file goes pretty much flawless. But when I try to play my OGM using Mediaplayer 6.4, I get this errormessage :

"This pin cannot use the supplied media type."

When i close the message window, move the time slider thingy and press play, it plays, but the image is all screwed up. See image below.
Filters and codecs used, BTW, are:

- OGG DirectShow 0.9.9.5
- DS SubTitle filter 1.4.0.0
- FFDShow 20021003

I've tested this on 2 machines using mentioned software + Win2K with the same results.
Machine 1 is an 800Mhz Athlon T-Bird, Geforce 4MX using latest Detonator drivers and DX 8.1
Maching 2 is an 1,4 GHz Athlon XP, Radeon 8500 using latest Ati drivers and DX 8.1

Other things I've tried are:

- Creating the same OGM with audio without subs ---> no probs in playback
- Creating the same OGM without audio with subs ---> still probs
- Creating an OGM from a DivX3.20 video and subs ---> no probs in playback (Weird ?)

I've also tested the OGM file mentioned at the top using MPlayer on Linux running on Machine 2 with no problem what so ever. All audio- and subtitlestreams work just fine.

Now my question is: is this a known bug in one of the programs I'm using? Or did I do something terribly wrong :)
+ A possible solution would be super as well, of course :D

I had this problem too. De-install both OGG DirectShow and DS SubTitle filter. Maybe ffdshow (and vobsub) too and install them again.

That fixed the problem for me.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling OggDS and SubTitDS several times before I posted here (forgot to mention that). Tried it again this evening, and made sure nothing was left behind (removed all .dll and .ax files installed by the packages). Then rebooted and installed the packages again. Rebooted a final time and tried my OGM again. Mediaplayer still gave the same error message and weird display.

A new thing I've tried is disable all DirectDraw/3D acceleration using Dxdiag.exe, which works just fine. No errormessage at all and normal display (except for the jerky display due to no HW acceleration, that is ...)

I'm starting to think it's some conflicting video drivers and DS filters or codecs. Does anyone know of OGM's with the same specs as mine and a hardware/driver setup same as mine which works?


Just thought of this : Could it be I broke something in my Win2K installation, caused by improper re/deinstallation of codecs or filters?





Problem seems to be solved :D I installed VobSub 1.18 and haven't seen the error since.
