Completely Lost - OGM to Dvd and everything in between?

[Squall284]

I am sorry if I am bothing those who have tried to guide me in the right direction. I have read up on the conversion and am really, really lost. I am going to just post what I have/know and what i don't. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly.

-I have an OGMfile and would like to convert it so I could put it on a DVD.
-I am used to the TMPGenc Program and Tmpg DVD Author Program.
-I could get other programs if needed.
-I can play the OGM file using Media Player Classic.
-I need to find out how i would go about placing the subtitles within the movie while doing all the converting.

Can anyone give me a clear way of going through the process of converting the OGM file to DVD.

You're sure you have a .ogg file and it has video? Files with the .ogg extension are usually audio only. OGM stands for ogg media. It's a container(sort of like .avi) that can hold video, audio and subtitle streams.

I fixed my post.
OK i ahve an OGM file that contains a movie. Along with that ogm file there is also a subtitles file with it. Can someone give me a step by step way to extract the video and audio from the OGM file and get it into DVD format so I could burn it? How would I also go about getting the subtitles to work along side everything when I encode everything(If I can even get to that step).

NOTE:
I am really sorry I have posted multiple post but I am very lost. I have read what people have told me and read other post about this topic and I can't seem to to figure this out.

Ok, I'm going to post the process step by step. If you can't do it from the information given here then, I don't know what to tell you.

First the background of ogm files.
ogm files are containers. They usually contain several different streams. Generally there is one video stream, several audio streams and even a subtitle stream. A lot of anime come in this format because you can place the video stream, english audio, japanese audio and subtitles within the container so that people can watch select what type of audio they want to hear as they are watching the anime.

In order to convert the ogm file to dvd, you're going to have to process the audio and the video portion separately.

VIDEO
Say I have an ogm file. The name of the file is lastexile.ogm. This ogm contains both english audio, japanese audio, and a subtitle stream. We want to make the subtitles permanent so that any time you play the file, the subtitles will appear.
In order to do this we need to do the following:
-make a copy of the ogm file.
-rename the extension to avi. eg. rename lastexile.ogm to lastexile.avi
-we need to extract the subtitle stream from the ogm container
-open the file with virtualdubmod
-click on stream | list stream
-for the file i used for this example, there are 3 streams here. english, japanese and text stream.
-select the subtitle stream (text stream) and click on demux
-This next step is very important.
-name the file the same name as avi file and save it in the same directory as your avi file. eg. lastexile.srt
-make sure you now have the two files in the same directory. eg. lastexile.srt and lastexile.avi

-download and install vobsub.
-play the avi file using windows media player...you should now have permanent subtitles on the avi file.

Now let's convert the video to m2v.
-open up tmpgenc
-close out of the wizard
-on the lower right hand side of tmpgenc, there is an option for ES (elementary stream =>video only)
-load the avi into tmpgenc and place a dot next to ES (if these options are greyed out, you will have to load the unlock.mcf file by clicking on load and locating the unlock.mcf file where tmpgenc templates are stored)
-go ahead and clear everything that is in the audio path. make sure the audio path is blank.
-set up all your settings like you normally do to convert to mpg2
-click on start
-if everything has been done correctly up to this point, you will see the subtitles appear as it encodes.
-when it is finished, you will have end up with an .m2v file

AUDIO
-you can also use virtualdubmod to demux audio and resample although most people don't recommend it. it's free and easy.
-load the avi into virtualdubmod again
-click on stream | list stream
-right-click on the audio stream you want and select full processing
-right click on the audio stream again and select convert
-make sure that the audio is 48000 mhz, if it isn't select it. if it is, leave it alone and click ok.
-click on save wav
-save the wave file to hd.
-optional: use ffmpeggui to convert wave file to ac3


once you're done with this, you should have an m2v file and an ac3 file.
use tmpgenc dvd author to create menus, chapters and to multiplex the video and audio together.
you should end up with vob files that are ready to burn to dvd.
use nero or some other burning software to burn the files to dvd.

when i try to load the avi in virtualdub it says "cannot detect file type of......ect". i was able to convet the video and i also was able to get the subtitles to work in it. I didn't use Virtualdub to extract the subtitles because they were already available outside of the ogm file. can you help me with the my problem using virtualdub?

note:i would like to thank you for helping me and spelling this all out for me. can you help me with this roadblock i have run into?

Maybe he intended to suggest VirtualDubMod as it supports OGM.
