    hi,

    i've read tonnes of guide & researched numerous websites for .ogm files, and i come to this conclusion, if wrong , please correct me.

    .ogm is a media container.

    to play it,

    i'll need a splitter/directshow filter(qn:are they the same thing???) to recognise the container first,
    EITHER illuminable ogg codecs for windows at http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/
    OR OGM DS Package at http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ogg_directshow.cfm

    next, i'll need the correct codec to play the file
    e.g. XviD, DivX, etc

    now, i meet up with a problem. i've installed illimnable's ogg codecs, but i can't play .ogm video files, but i can play .ogg audio files. my ogm file has mp3 audio and DivX video. i have both codecs.

    is it because i don't VobSub installed?

    and, for matroska video, is gabest's splitter or haali's splitter better? i heard that haali supports ogm container also?? and after installing the splitter, do i still need to install vobsub/vsfilter to read subtitiles??

    Personally, I've never had the exact problem you're talking about and here's what I have installed. Matroska pack, illiminables ogg codecs, and various other directshow filters. Install CCCP, see if that doesn't fix 99% of your playback problems. Best playback for most ogms though, in my experience is VLC (native support).
