Help with ogm files

[jabalum]

hey,

i got a problem with a few ogm files. when i want to convert an ogm file to avi, there was some sort of error that will not allow me to convert the file over.

i used virtual dub mod and tmpgENC . Both of them also has the same problem. does anyone has any other solutions to convert and ogm to an avi file?

mencoder.exe -ovc copy -oac mp3lame input.ogm -o output.avi

Re-encodes the audio to mp3 and remuxes in one go. If there are multiple audio streams thoughyou may need to specify which one with -aid.

Above is assuming vorbis audio, which the avi container simply can't handle.

hey
what do you mean by
mencoder.exe -ovc copy -oac mp3lame input.ogm -o output.avi

and how do you input it in?

First of all virtualDub Mod should not crash uless you were doing it right. First you load the file then click on "Stream List" then right click on the audio and select "full processing" mode. Then you select the options you want from the *right-clicked menu* then you select "Save WAV". Then after that's done saving the wav "add" it to the list of streams, then go under the file menu and select save as(KEEP READING). And make sure you select "DIRECT STREAM COPY" (at the bottom of the save as screen) and "audio video interleave *.avi" (under the file name box). then your set. SAVE IT.

mencoder.exe is the app, it comes with mplayer.

-ovc is the output video codec. Copy means that the video is copied with no recompression.

-oac is the output audio codec. mp3lame, means it uses lame to encode. With no options specifed it simply uses the defaults. Can't remember what they are though. You can specify extra options with
-lameopts or if you are going to re-encode just use -oac pcm.

change input.ogm to your input file and path if not in the same directory as mencoder and output.avi to whatever you like.

where do you need to go to input those commands??
is there anyway to compress the wav files first?
becuase its very big...
and if i use tmpec to combine it...
it will crash..

all the settings i did was correct... but halfway through the encoding process it crashes
