 |
|
Hello,
I have this file I'd like to view. It's a video file named: Sopranos.S03.E01.Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood.[Xvid Ogg]-TRN
It is listed as an "OGM File".
What kind of player do I need to view this file? Quicktime and Window's Media Player didn't work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle |

| Get VLC Media Player. It plays damn near anything you can throw at it. |

That's a little strange... OGG Vorbis files are audio files.
Judging from the file name you need the Xvid codec.

(But try Walter's player as it already has Xvid and OGG capability). |

From a guide to various formats:
| Quote: |
OGM (Ogg Media) Files [Orqyman, Keikai, xo, ed.]
Ogg Media (.OGM) files are a far more recent wrapper format than .AVI. Usually, they contain either DivX or XviD encoded video streams. .OGM files are becoming popular as they are far more adept at supporing multiple audio and subtitle streams than .AVI. As with .AVI files,you must have the codecs needed by the contained streams to play these files. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of what codecs an .OGM file needs. This information will often be provided by the poster of the file. If not, this FAQ lists other methods to determining the codec.
Assuming the necessary video and audio codecs of the OGM file are known, and are already installed, it is also necessary to install the Ogg Vorbis Directshow filters available at http://tobias.everwicked.com/. Any DirectShow-compatible media play should then be able to play Ogg Media files. DirectX 8.0 or higher is necessary, as well.
When subtitles are encoded into the Ogg Media file, either DVobSub or SubTitDS is necessary to display them. The SubTitDS method will not work, however, for Windows 9x/ME users, and, therefore, DVobSub will be necessary.
See the subtitle section for more information on these DirectShow filters.
Some of the advantages of Ogg Media files over AVI files are:
Less overhead for muxing of streams than AVI
Multiple audio streams (nandub AVIs support a maximum of 2 audio streams)
Embedded Subtitles
Chaptering
Faster Keyframe Seeks
Ogg Vorbis may be used for audio, which many proclaim to be better than mp3 in many respects |
OGM isn't that common though. Most DivX and XviD files still come as .avi - at least in the downloads I've been getting. |

I think it's an open source project maintained by this group:
xiph.org
Real player should play it. |

Unfortunately the CBC and RCAirFarce require it.
Spybot S&D won't let it put TKBell into the registry and Zone Alarm won't let real event launcher access to the net. So I believe it's rendered harmless. |

Real Alternative plays anything I throw at it...
.rm, .ram...anything, be it streaming or local file...
Sounds like you have RealPlayer under control though!  |
