Problem with OGG files

[t-domi]

Hi Everyone!
I have a problem with vdubmod.
I want 6 audio channels in my video. I want to use ogg audio. But here's the problem. I opened the 6 channels ogg (I made it with BeSweet), and the video. I started the compression. The VDubmod finished it, but the finished avi don't have any audio. I opened in VDubmod the avi, but the Vdubmod doesn't see audio streams too.But I opened the audio ogg before the compression!Where is the ogg?

As far as I know, the AVI format does not support multiple audio-streams! Furthermore using OGG audio in AVI is not a good idea (same problem for MP3 audio with VBR). I think you should use Matroska or OGM instead of AVI...

BTW: Try the Matroska Spiltter's experimental AVI support. Maybe this would be one way to play back your AVI... *click* (http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/)

Its indeed not a good idea, and the reason why the resulting AVI has no audio is because VDM doesnt support muxing Vorbis in AVI.

But you need a "special" kind of AVI Splitter for playback ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The avi container is a box that'll hold almost anything you want to put into it. The trick is getting whatever you put in back out. :) Sometimes a good idea to start at the finish & move backwards in deciding your workflow.

One example, Microsoft has a utility here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/9/3/f93c49aa-1644-4a82-b6ee-6624c55e3010/wavavimux_setup.exe for combining multichannel in an avi container, but it's designed to be read by Wmencoder for input only.

There are a lot of audio file formats, some support multi-channel, among those support for reading/playing multi-channel content varies. If an app tries to understand a format it doesn't recognize, won't work properly -- can use other software or if/when possible tell it not to look, not to try and understand the format, just pass it on (as with some muxers or DS copy in V/Dub).

AVI doesnt support Vorbis in any proper fashion. period. :p
