.ogm file help

[levon]

(not sure if this is the right forum to ask this)

I'v got the codecs but every time I play a .ogm file theres this black bar(kinda like widescreen) on the top and I can't find any way to get rid of it. Anyone know how to fix it?

what player do you play it in? you should try wmp6.4 or bsplayer, they are good.

[levon]

I'v tried many diffrent players....I mostly use WM player 6.4

It cuts the bottom off I think to. Like it was pushed down.

Very weird annoying problem I have

howabout this site http://www.doom9.org/software2.htm#filters
it may work, but I am not sure
here is the file itself ( I searched for it)

http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Filters/DeInterPALInterpolation_0_4b.zip

open that and it will start downloading.

[levon]

How would I use that filter?

I'm not all that smart on this kind of stuff.

[chickeneater]

unzip it and install it. You should have an unpacker like winzip.

[levon]

The file is a .vdf, do I have to move it to a certain folder for it to work of something

[chickeneater]

maybe put it in the root folder (c:/win/system32) and copy + paste.

[levon]

What do I do after that?

I'm pretty confused.

[chickeneater]

try and play your file. If someone who reads this thread and knows where to put the file, correct me please.

*.VDF is a virtualdubfilter and wont be of much help in this case.

in order to check if this is a playback fault (which i think) or if the black bar is part of the file, load your ogm into a special version of virtualdub: virtualdubMOD.

in case you dont see any black bars in vdMOD the file is fine and your problem is a playback error.

re-install divx + ogg and dont forget that your graphic drivers may be to blame!!
(experienced this myself a couple of days ago: a newly created xvid file wouldnt play in fullscreen due to different [new] vga drivers)

[levon]

Its fixed now I needed to get the VirtualDubMod DLL files and I put them into my root folder & reinstalled ogg.

I hate it when I spend hours trying to figure something out when its so simple

Anyway, thanks for all your help guys!
