I have a few videos that cannot be converted with the best freeware converters I have: SUPER, All to Avi, and Dr. Divx. Anyone have any ideas on how to convert a video that's giving me problems? Or better yet, why does this even happen?
thanks for any advice

For anyone to come up with even an educated guess, we need more info.
Load the offending files in GSpot, and post a screen shot.
Not all (not many at all, come to think of it...) video files are made with furher conversion in mind.

thanks for the response. I just downloaded Gspot. I don't know how to post a screen shot but I can tell you there's not much to see. Whereas a "normal" video has all of its information viewable in Gspot, when I input the offending video, it only lists the size of the file 696MB, and under container it says
File Type: Ogg media
Mime Type: application/x-ogg
and under proposed codec and solution tests if i press 1 under the MS A/V heading, it says
Rendering failed: following is the error reported by Direct Show
0x80040241: [unknown]
the rest of it's entirely greyed out.... -
Ogg media (ogm file extension) often uses xvid for video + .ogg audio. If you install those codecs, there are chances to open video in VDubMod, demux/decompress audio, etc. For decompression .ogg audio there are tools at http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.php

You should be able to use directshowsource() in AviSynth. That's what I usually wind up doing.

thank you. i tried to download VirtualdubMOD, and I did, but when i tried to open it it said that corona.dll wasn't found and couldn't open it. Even if I had, what codecs would I download at http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.php? there were so many of them. thanksOriginally Posted by Alex_ander

it says i need a text editor? i tried to use word but it didn't work. Is Word a text editor?Originally Posted by dphirschler

Yes Word is a text editor. But dont use it. Use Notepad instead to create text file.

The archive for VirtualDubMod should have subdirectories with corona.dll and the other needed files within them. You'll need to extract everything from the zip file with the subdirectories intact.Originally Posted by uglijimus
(I say 'should,' because as I recall, there's at least one update archive on the Sourceforge page that only had the main VirtualDubMod EXE and little else.)
Hmm... looks like RareWares has restructured and possibly removed the filters. These might help, though: (I'm not sure, because it's been some time since I had to install anything for OGG/OGM. :/ )
OGG DirectShow Filter: https://www.videohelp.com/tools/OGG_DirectShow_Filter_OggDS_OGM_Codec
OGG Vorbis ACM Codec
...and ffdshow supports Vorbis audio streams as well...If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -
You need complete packageOriginally Posted by uglijimus
'VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_2_All_inclusive.zip' that includes corona.dll; downloadable from page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65889
I meant OggDropXP, GUI to decompress audio after extracting .ogg stream in VDubMod.Originally Posted by uglijimus
For working with audio inside VDubMod you might also need to install libvorbis.dll library on your system. -
I tried the avs thing again, and it worked better with notepad. when i saved it as an avs file, the icon actually showed up (the avs icon). Then i tried opening it with Vdub and it said error, repeated the location of the file and had line 1 after it?? that's too bad cause that seemed the easiest to work with...
then i downloaded the Vdubmod. i put the file into it, and it said "parsing OGG". when it was done it worked! so i just direct steam copied it and it worked. one problem though...no audio. Is that way everyone was giving me all these Ogg extensions to download? I'm so confused. What am I supposed to do with them? where and I supposed to put them? Why is there no audio tab in VdubMOD like there is in Vdub?
Also, I'm pretty sure I have OGG filters installed on my computer. I've definitely decoded OGG files before using SUPER. Wonder why these don't work...
thanks

Look into streams/stream list for audio, there are options for each stream to demux, decompress etc. Does it recognize ogg audio stream?Originally Posted by uglijimus
Try to disable audio in avs, your open file line should look like this:
DirectShowSource("path\your_file", audio=false)
otherwise unless your system is configured for handling ogg audio via DirectShow, you'll keep getting that error. Do you have something like FFDShow installed? -
yes it does recognise the audio. It says Source: ogg media file, OGM audio stream 1 [Vorbis], 2ch 48000Hz and then length of the video. What do I do next?Originally Posted by "Alex_ander

As for the AVS, I did what you instructed and it said it could not open the source file.
Should I download FFDShow? i have so many codecs on my computer I'm should I have it but I'm not sure.
thanks

Try to demux audio stream, then decode to wav using OggDrop or your tool that works with ogg. Then you will be able to encode it e.g. to MP3 for replacement.
-
thanks it worked! i downloaded that OGG drop thing, put my audio file in there and it turned it into a wav file. I then used part of a guide by Baldrick and put that wav file (i couldn't figure out how to convert it to mp3) and direct stream video together to create an convertable video!
thank you so much and everyone else for your help!
