Problem w/ .avi w/ ogg audio

[palaemon]

I d/l this .avi and then tried to open it. nothing. I used Media Player Classic, WMP7, Virtual Dub, Zoom, BSPlayer, TMPGEnc, and GSpot.
I tried d/l OGM codecs. I only *think* it's OGM because GSpot says under *Status* "File is OGG Media (.OGM) - Not Supported." I changed the file extension and then retried all of the above listed apps. Still Nothing

Any Help?

Its a renamed .ogm ( stupid, still people do it ). Change extension to .ogm and try to open with Suiryc's Vdub mod ..

[Suiryc]

Even with a bad extension (.avi instead of .ogm for instance) Windows Media Player should be able to read it ... (that's the reason some people keep on renaming ogm to avi :mad: )

What do you mean by "tried to open it. nothing." ? Are there problems (the player give you an error, or Windows crash, or ...) ?

If you just get nothing (no video, no audio) without error in the player, check that "Allways enable all streams" is unchecked in the "Ogg Splitter" filter properties ("File -> Properties -> Advanced options" in Windows Media Player).
If selected and if your file contains more than one Ogg Vorbis stream, this generally makes players freeze.

You can also open the file with VirtualDubMod (contains my OGM mods and is the project in which bug-fixes and new features are done) to see what is inside (if it can be opened of course).

If there are errors when trying to play the file and that you have all necessary filters (OggDS, and SubtiDS for subtitles), then I'm afraid your file may be badly corrupted or incomplete :(

Well, I tried what you guys suggested. I had already tried changing the extension to .OGM, but that didn't work. I d/l the VDubMod and it's dll's too. I guess some idiot just put a bad/corruted file out there. happens.
