So then I changed the format in Avidemux to "OGM", saved that, but Avidemux could not convert the audio ... so I uploaded it anyway (GSpot says the container is "File Type: Ogg Media; Mime Type: application/x-ogg"), and now it just says "(Invalid ogg file: )" : http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MVI_4015_ski-test.ogg . So my questions are:
- Can anyone recommend something to convert AVIs to OGG that will keep the player happy?
- If that is a valid file OGG file, but the audio isn't valid, should it play the video but ignore the audio?
OGM is not a valid Ogg OGM is OGM. It's an odd non-standard beast which gained popularity among anime warez trading groups so there is support for it in a number of tools.
In short you probably want to use either VLC or ffmpeg2theora. I've recently heard people having some problems getting VLC to produce output.
