Difficulties to encode .OGM files

[silau]

I've d/l 2 .ogm files - X-men 2 and 3 days of Condor. It is fine if you want to view them with WMP or any other player. However encoding these files aren't that easy.

First you have to rip out the video and audio files with VirtualDubMod. Then you have to reencode these files with Virtual Dub into a new avi file.

Only after the first step is done could you move over to the second step ie encoding using CCE or TMPGenc.

What a tedious step. That's how I approach it. Ayone got a better way to do it? I would like to hear from you.

Anyway, I'm appealing that it's good if this ogm file is not released. Instead it is best to have just avi file. Hope the releasers are listening to me. Thank you!

You don't have to re-encode the video to get it into an AVI container, just the audio. Also last time I checked TMPGEnc could handle OGM as a video source, just not for audio.

Someone probably should release OGM and MKV source plugins for AVISynth.

Thanks for your response. Now I have one step lesser to follow.

Anyway there's another better way to do it. I got it from here:
Converting Ogm to Avi

This details yet another approach, converting the OGG/OGM to AVI using GRAPHEDIT.
I suppose you could leave out the MP3 codec, and have it use uncompressed PCM audio.

Thanks for the above site LTR12101B! Will take a look at it.

Yeah that is the way it used to be done back in the early days. Back then you had to enable full interleave in the avimux filter or you would get weird decoding unless you re-indexed the keyframes. No idea if this is still so.

Encoding OGM

Hi, ok there are different methods to encode OGMs but my question i ... what happens with the subtitles? if i want to keep subtitles when encoding to AVI or using TMPGEnc how should proceed?

Thanks

Extract the SRT stream from the OGM and then use VSFilter's textsub or I guess you could just load it as a directshowsource, then if VSFilter is installed DVOBSub should autoload and do the subs.

Loading an OGM into TMPGEnc, I assume that it uses dshow as default.
