    Anyone familiar with it? Actually, anyone familiar enough to recommend a program that could convert it to DVD, or Avi? I tried AVI2DVD thinking that it might work, but it didn't.

    The only usable video codec for ogg is Theora and ffdshow can decode it. You also need an ogg splitter installed such as Radlight's or I believe Haali's splitter now includes ogg support.

    Ok, I got FFDSHOW and Haali's splitter. It does handle Ogg. I've never used FFDShow before, and this isn't really my area of expertise. Could you give me a quick hint as to what to do? Thanks.

    Make sure that theora is enabled. You should now be able to play the file via directshow and also convert it via directshow or use AVISynth with directshowsource() to frameserve for converting.

    ogm != ogg and VirtualDubMod handles vorbis audio fine here, unless you mean remuxing an ogm to avi in which case ffmpeg is the only app that I know of which can do it (wouldn't recommend it either). Speaking of ffmpeg, DivXtoDVD if it is still using libavformat/codec should be able to convert ogg video files, that is assuming that libavcodec was compiled with theora enabled.

    @dvdsndict, just to confrim you are talking about an ogg file and not ogm, right? Because a lot of people get the two confused. As I said they are not interchangable. Although I believe that Haali's splitter now handles both.

    Yes, it's an ogg file. I downloaded a special player to play the Theora codec. What are you talking about when you refer to "directshow"?
