OGM to VCD/SVCD/KVCD

Hello. First time poster here. Lots of helpful people are here so I'm wondering if you can help me! I want to convert 2 OGM files to watch on a VCD. In another forum somebody recommended using Virtual Dub to convert to AVI. Is there a more direct way? The files are 45 minutes each (it's a football match) so I think I'll need to put them on 2 VCDs or SVCDs or on 1 KVCD. Thank you...

 

hello.

you're not actually converting the video. you're just converting the container. an OGM is a container, just like .avi
as i know v-dub doesn't accept an OGM, but virtualdubmod does.
so you can just put it on direct stream copy and save as avi. it shouldn't take long. as fast as your hard drive can write it.

another way is to frameserve it too the encoder app you're using.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Virtualdubmod? Is this a plugin or a separate program? Excuse my ignorance. Thanks...

 

Please ignore my reply. Have found Virtualdubmod. Thank you...

 

Hi shiroh

I followed the steps above & save the ogm file to .avi using virtualdubmod. but when I play back the new avi file there is no audio??

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use this small tutorial to put in a AVI:

It's basically the same thing you already did but with more details, looks like you forgot to put the audio in direct stream copy.
Then if you want you can use my tool DIKO to do an automatic conversion to KSVCD:

thanks for replying

I've read the other post from your link, I think my ogm file has oggvorbis audio, how do I convert it to pcm 1st??

 

If you put the audio in "Full Processing Mode" instead of "Direct Stream Copy", it will convert to PCM. But this won't work if you don't have a ogg vorbis codec.

 

this is frustrating, I download & installed the ogg vobris codec... I think I installed it correctly because I can hear the audio while playing the ogm file in virtualdubMod(1.5.10). But when I click on File--Save as--Video mode--"full processing..." I only get video & still no audio from the new avi file??

 

hello, as you expect it, an OGM user usually will use OGG audio, I myself use matroska container.

on to the topic.
the point that the video played perfectly on your media player, means you already got the audio decoder.
for audio encoding i use dbPoweramp
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

any audio encoder will do fine.

it got almost every format you need, just download the codec you need and install.

as for getting the audio. you don't need to do full processing, direct stream copy. go under stream>stream list> and select demux. on the bottom of the menu there is a check box for batch in job mode. uncheck that. you're good to go.

v-dub, audio encoding is not the best.

v-dubmod have a new release for is bug fixes, you may want to get that.
VirtualDubMod_1_5_10_1_b2439

at http://sourceforge.net/

its not the whole thing, just swap it out with the one you already got.


and why you didn't get the audio in avi ? that is because avi doesn't support ogg audio. heck, it doesn't keep variable rate mp3 in sync, most of the time.

 

thank you everyone

ok, now I have the video only file (avi) & the audio file .ogg. How do I convert these 2 files into one svcd-mpeg format so I could used nero6 to create my svcd

 

uhh....the guides ?

ok, the easiest way is Tmpgenc, use the wizard and the svcd template.

 

thanks everyone... made my 1st svcd from ogm!! learn to do something new today thanks to this great site, found this post thru google search.

 

sorry anouther newbie, how can you get a .ogg file into a format that TMPGEnc can read?

Thanks
