Just when i thought i could play about anything, someone sends me a movie file with extension .ogm.

What i want to do is make a mpeg-2 (SVCD) out of it, but if i can't i would be happy to settle with just watching it on my mac

Afaik VLC should be able to play this file, but alas: no dice. VLC sees three streams: two vorbis audio streams ( a Japanse soundtrack and an English soundtrack) and a DX50 stream. Sound workes fine, but i dont get any image. Seems i'm still missing a codec somewhere, but i'm really stuped at which one and where to install.

Both MPlayer OS X 2 and QT player (Pro registered (legally)) hate the file. Even though i have both vorbis audio codec and divx5.0.5 video codec installed in /Library/QuickTime, it just refuses to open anything with the .omg extension.

ffmpegx does not refuse the file, but gives loads of errors with ANYTHING i try to do with it.

Who can un-stump me?

try replace .ogm to .ogg and try in mplayerosx2 again

Well, that DID help... so i do AM able to play them all...

Gawd, thanks for helping out devrosx!

(though. i'm still slightly stumped as for why i didn't try this myself... must have been the time of day... maybe if i poke myself a bit: )
