OGM's

Hey i have some OGM files on my computer, every time i highlight them i get an error from Windows explorer and it has to close. Why is this happening? Is there any thing i can do? BS Player also errors when i start playing them. Anyone know a good OGM viewer? Thanks.

ffdshow should play them. I don't know the exact site, but just do a google search or go to www.doom9.org

I have a playback pack (which adwared up my comp, and then removed it right after installation) that I got from a BitTorrent site (which won't be revealed) that worked for playing OGM, MKV and any other file I threw at it.

That's more often a decoder issue than parser. What codec?

I'm gonna say most likely AVI or Matroska.

Yes, what codec? Probably XviD...
It might also be because of subtitle mixer - it was pretty b0rked when I tried it. I recommend unistalling it and using vsfilter instead.
If that doesn't help, uninstall OGM parser (oggds) and use mpc to play the files - it's got internal parser that works well. You'll need coreVorbis for audio which is very good anyway.

Hope that helps,
Radek

OGM + WMP + No OGM Playback Filters = Crash
MKV + WMP = Crash (Reguardless of the filters)

Someone's gotta give those CoreCodec boys props, they designed a container system that won't playback on the most used x86 media player in the world.

It works fine for me :P

Same here. You've either got an outdated version or something else installed that's acting weird, Izumi.

If you're having problems with playing ANY video files, I reccomend the kazaa lite codec pack, www.k-litecodecpack.com... as for a player, I reccomend The core media player (forgot the URL, sorry).

ffdshow and/or Media Player Classic > any codec pack...
