Converting ogm to avi

Postby venus2 » Thu Aug 09, 2007 6:40 am

Hi, I have a lot of ogm files that I would like to convert to avi, I tried all methods like OGM to Avi, AlltoAvi, Avi2DVD but it won't work. I found VirtualDubMod and Avidemux but I can't use them, can anyone help me with them? Like give me the step by step and if needed any codecs, on how to use them?

Thanks for any help!

That's probably not going to help.

You need the full version of ffdshow (look for ffdshow-tryouts) - make sure that every format you have selected for it to decode in the Video decoder is also selected in the VFW. Open the file in VDubMod, and tell it to Direct Stream Copy the video stream over to AVI (the option is in the Video menu and also in the Save dialog). If the audio is Vorbis, you should use the Audio Compression functions to convert it to CBR MP3.

I'm sure you know this,but I guess use AviSynth&DirectShowSource would be much easier than droppin' it into VDubMod,since VDubMod mostly crashes when importing downloaded .ogm files..

Using DirectShowSource is only advisable when the format cannot be handled through VFW period or at least without considerably-altering hacks. It introduces other problems - OGM's lack of stability notwithstanding. It isn't even all that hard to transmux OGM to MKV (MKVMerge makes it child's play) and then open that in VDub - and unlike the reports surrounding OGM, MKV usually doesn't crash it.

Well,it's not that I'm using it because VDubMod crashes,but to clean it up a bit..

Then I guess I'll leave this up to you,since you seem to know more about this... :?

Yeah, it's purpose is to create MKV files from source streams. It has support for AVI, MP4, OGM, etc.

The correct way to do this would be to download GraphEdit, render the .ogm files, pipe the video output into an AVI writer, and pipe the audio into a WAV or MP3 encoder and then into the AVI writer.

I'm really sorry but when I used the VirtualDubMod there's no audio and I got a little confused with what you were trying to say, can you explain better for me? I'm dumb when it comes to stuff like this, and also the GraphEdit, it's not working.

I tried the OGM to Avi converter and when it converted, it gave me this msg box that says the AviMux Gui (?) is experiencing problems and will shut down, do you know why?

Thank you

Can you be a little more specific? What's not working? The program, or the filter graph?

It keeps shutting down, I re-downloading the file and it's working now, I can't find the pipe the video output, can you tell me where it is? Sorry about this

There should be a pin on your OGM parsing filter labeled "Video" or "Stream 1". Drag from this pin to the AVI writer to make a connection. If you can't figure it out, take a screenshot of your filter graph and I'll draw what you need to do.

If this is what you meant, I clicked on File, then clicked on Render Media File then this came out, http://img12.imagevenue.com/img.php?ima ... _659lo.JPG what does this mean?

Basically, this is what you need to do:

There may not be an "AVI Writer" filter, in which case replace AVI Writer with AVI Muxer, and then pipe the output of that muxer into a regular File Writer.
