Ogm unstable with big filesizes?

[soujir0u]

Hello, I've made a 2.1GB OGM file with Xvid and OGG audio. When I play the file with BSPlayer or WMP9, it takes a long time to load the file, and seeking often makes it crash. It also occasionally freezes for a while and then continues. The tray icon slows down my PC to a crawl, so I disabled it.

If I split up the files to smaller ones (700MB), they play perfectly fine (no slowdown or crashing). However I want to keep it as a single file because it's a concert rip... (don't want to have a cut in the middle of a song).

Anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. Oh, and I'm using WinXP Pro with NTFS partitions, Athlon 1.2GHz, 768MB RAM, GeForce4 MX440 so I think my hardware should be OK?

I've got similar problems these big OGM files. Try original Media Player 6.4, it works for me (but I know it is only temporary solution).

Now ... almost every player on earth relies on Windows' automatic DShow graph building to play a media file. A few players, however, don't rely on that automatism and handle that stuff themselves internally. Two examples for those players are - guess what - BSPlayer and WMP9.

Throw your file into graphedit, and have a look how it behaves there. If it's okay there, then I would look out for another player (Tip: Zoooooooooom...)

Having said that, I must admit that I have not created an OGM > 2GB myself yet (never went for 3 CDs up to now). Will give it a test ...

Unless Tobias changed this in his filters since last time (OggDS) then it is (ot at least really seems to be) a problem with those filters which doesn't seem to handle files bigger than 2GB ...

I second this.

I don't know which language the OggDS are written in, maybe Delphi (take a look at the source of OggCut). So I fear there's nothing you can do about then avoiding files > 2GB.

Unfortunately, the "newer filters for ogg" are quite old now... (maybe 5 or 6 months).

Ha.

Unfortunately even the guys at CoreCodec seem not to know what happened to Tobias Waldvogel since then...

Last I read was he joined Xiph to work on Theora.

I tried using mplayer2 to play it, same problem (though loading was a bit faster). Currently I'm just using a .bsi file to open the video and audio streams together and using Bsplayer chapters. Works fine for the time being. :D
