if you want to it keep legal Theora is your only option, the bright side is that you have Vorbis as well. smile.gif

But the quality of Theora is not impressive... something you have to see for yourself though.

hmm, maybe you are better of using illuminable's filters in graphedit then... although i dont know if you can configure them...

what happens if you have two filters that both say they support the same codec?

cause now that i have both illiminable and ffdshow's directshow plugins how do i know which one mplayer is using?

man this stuff is confusing..

im gonna look up graphedit

right now i have mpeg 1!! (yea 1!) supported using smpeg and sdl (cause its open source and crossplatform) but its older than hell and the compression is not good

also i cant seem to convert video's into mpeg1 format (virtual dub throws an error when i try to do it thru ffdshow, and i dont have a regular vfw plug for mpeg1 (i just have this old mpeg 1 sample video which plays)

if ffdshow works, you should see a FF tray icon...

maybe something is wrong with how im playing it

i followed the directions on this page exactly:
http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/enc_theora_..._graphedit.html

and when i tried to play the .ogg file in windows media player, it just showed black silence

when i grabbed the progress bar and moved it all around though, i could hear some short sounds from the movie, and alot of boxes showing part of the picture were visible ;()

but it certainly wasnt useful like that wink.gif

am i supposed to be able to play theora files in windows media player? i have both ffd.. thing and also the illiminable plugins

it should work in WMP... as far as WMP works, maybe you can try Media Player Classic?

or perhaps you can upload a small sample? I'll try later on to see if i can get ffdshow/illimible's filters to play/encode...

sweet i opened it up in another player and it worked!!

finally managed to encode an .ogg file

quality is definately degraded though ;(

sorry about all these posts (im new to this stuff)

anyway i uninstalled ffdshow and it played fine with the illiminable stuff wink.gif

the ffdshow encoded .ogg still wont play anywhere,

basicly it seems like ffdshow's theora support doesnt work!!

and thanks big time for all the info guys (especially stephan)

Oh, sorry, the Theora-in-AVI will play fine with ffdshow and illiminable ogg codec,
I tried with Radlight theora decoder, it seems show some green output...

@Intangir:
Always use the newer version of ffdshow, get it here link removed

mod message: please no links to open-source codecs, that have patententing issues. thank you smile.gif
