OGM CODEC!!

Well - I cannot watch OGM movies on my PC correctly, no matter what I do - I get error messages.
But thanks god - there exist a nice program called XBOX Media Center for the XBOX -> It plays EVERYTHING I ever had or will have - even OGM etc.

P.S.: VideoLAN works fine.

Hmm.... I downloaded some anime off bit torrent (hack//sign), and I downloaded VLC. It runs the files, but... they skip around a bit. Firstly, a 20 minute episode claims to be an hour and 46 minutes. When I play, the first 5 seconds are alright, but then the screen blurs, and the audio cuts to another time in the movie. Then after a few seconds, it cuts to another. So the timer slider on the bottom keeps going back and forth, randomly. Sometimes it’s close to the end, then a few seconds later it says it’s the beginning.

Uhh... help?

This tool workes just fine to open .ogm files.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc Try it, if you find no other.

Damn was at for like 2 hrs trying to convert or get the right codecs or anything, and then I come here and see this post. Video Lan Player is all it took. Thx Akido, and to the rest of you as well.

Ive tried everything thats been posted so far and am confused and lost out of my mind. I followed the Lazy Mans tutorial and cant get anything to play...on windows media 9 it shows no sound, video but thinks the file is a song. VLC doesnt work for me...ive almost given up...oy...

I’ve tried VLC but that just stops after about 10 seconds whatever i play

Thanks for this, guys.
A friend sentme some stuff in OGM format and your links quickly helped me get it playing.
Cheers.

thanks Wildor

i had trouble installing codecs so i could play ogm files. but with your url i finally just found a compatible media player. i dont mind having to use 3 different media players to watch all my movies/anime stuff as long as it preforms well =)

if anyone else has trouble like i did heres the link thanks to Wildor http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Hey Kristin go on a website called www.free-codecs.com da website has all the major audio/video codecs around including the .ogg/.ogm codec that u particularly need. This iz the best website around for any codec ever needed,,,,, so i guess good luck and i hope the information i’ve given u is to any help.

i have the vlc player,and the sound works just fine but the video doesnt play, it just stays at the same frame
i also downloaded many codecs, what should i do

Well, I am having a different problem with my Win XP computer trying to get it to play .ogm’s The only way to get Win player to run them is to install the http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm codecs, BUT when installed it will get Win player to play them but then Windows Explorer crashes everytime! That scares me. Any sugesstions? Yes I also have VLC player and that plays all my .ogms except one, but I really want Win Player to do it.

Ok new program called Avi2Dvd is abel to convert those .ogm files into anything else.
Hope this helps... it did help me alot.

Ah, VLC. How I love thee. When WMP said 'No chance!', MPC gave me the cold shoulder, BSPlayer just stared at me with a blank expression and WinAmp tried so *very* hard to work... VLC worked in seconds.

'Ogm file? Sure! Have fun watching!'

No 'Install a codec!' or 'Unrecognised file type' errors. I use VLC for all my media files. Although it does tend to use up a bit more resources than WinAmp does.

I only really use WinAmp on the rare occasions when VLC gives me the 'video stalled, audio advancing' problem.

Thanks alot for the link to the VLC. Work just fine.

THanks so much, This was my problem too..

THanks for the FIX!!!

I have no problem playing ogm files on my computer i used the lazymans guide to ogm and a certain media player called The corecodec. My only problem is converting all my ogm files to vcd so i can watch them on my dvd player. I’m using tempgenc and it converts only the video file not the audio. So i think i need some codecs to do that but i don’t know of any

does the codec allow me to see the subtitles? i can play ogm files jux fine but w/o the subtitles

To anyone wanting to convert their video files, of any type, try using DVD Santa. It is a very simple program and is not too expensive. It will convert your movies to the correct format and burn them to a dvd all in one click. You can even choose between “Pan and Scan” or Wide Screen formats! ^_^\m/ Simpla and cheap....the best way out! =)

thank you guys,,, whoever post the link, i have to give you some credits...hhhiihhhhiii.,,, it works everyone!! We have alot of smart guys out there....
