New ogg audio standard

[daniboy]

I have a movie in avi format, which has been implemented with the new ogg audio codec. I need to convert it to mpeg-1, but unfortunatly I havent found any support for the ogg standard. I can view it with no problems, via installing the new Ogg direct Show filters, found here: http://www.stud.fernuni-hagen.de/q5045045/.

I have tried TMPGenc 2.52 with no luck. Thus is there any other encoding program that supports the new ogg audio standard.

Here is one way of accomplishing what you just asked: download dBpowerAmp (a great encoding/decoding freeware program that does mp3, ogg vorbis, wav, .vqf, etc.). On dBpowerAmp's page (www.dbpoweramp.com), you'll have to go to "codec central" and download the Ogg Vorbis plugin. Then, open your movie in Virtual Dub, (another freeware tool available under the "tools" section of this site) and save the audio only as a "direct stream copy". Once you have this file, open dBpoweramp and convert the resulting .ogg file to a 44.1Khz, 16-bit stereo wav file. When you go into TMPGenc, make sure you select the original AVI as your video source, and the .wav audio file as your audio source. This should solve the problem. Let me know if this works!

its all good until i have to open it up in virtualdub, because it "cannot determine file type". :(

The file is an ogg file but renamed to avi so it can be viewed in wmp.

is there any other way which i could rip the audio and video separately from the avi, thus later convert ogg audo to wav. then add wav to avi.
