View Full Version : .ogm file. Sounds great but no video !

Hi,

I have just made my first ever .ogm file using DVX. I installed the latest version (DVX 3.0 RC 30) and the accompanying sys pack along with .NET.

All went well, but when I play the resulting file, the sound is there but the video is blank.
I played the video file (DivX 5.02 Pro) and sound file (OGG) seperately and they both play fine. I tried re-muxing in VDubMod but the result is the same. I have converted many movies in the past with GKnot and MP3 and do have quite a bit of experience, however, having been away from the scene for some time I feel a little left behind by all the recent developments, especially where filters etc are concerned.

I also notice that there doesn't appear to be any chapters in the file, even though I pasted them into the 'Chapter' tab under options in DVX. Could this be a related problem?

I have tried both WMP 6.4 and ZoomPlayer. I have XP Pro SP1 and a Radeon 9700 video card. The file is playing from my HDD and not a CD.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers, Beastie.

PS. does DVX automatically use MPEG2DEC3 and YV12 encoding for the speed improvement, or do I need the alter any settings? Thanks.

there is at least one more bug with divx and ogm i know of: maybe its been solved with 5.0.3, i dont like it :P

the picture seems to jump for a millisecond, though the avi is ok, even if you demux the ogm. solution is usage of ffdshow... but that doesnt look as good ...

Many thanks for the replies guys. The movie now plays fine. Still don't have any chapters though :( I need to work on this one.

Cheers, Beastie.

in case of problems you can post *_Encode.dvx and *_DVX.log as zipped attachment. Are the chapters in the logfile? Maybe chapters are broke, the chapter edit feature is new...

maybe upload function was disabled, I can't use it too but you can still post the text content of the logfile or upload it at my board

OK, I have posted the log files on your board in the Bugs section in an existing thread called 'Problem with muxing chapter info'.

Thanks for your time and efforts,
Cheers, Beastie.
