I need help.
I am planning on converting an OGM to an AVI in VirtualDubMod. Then, how would I convert the AVI to VTS format?
Thanks for putting up with my extreme stupidity,

Won't regular VDub accept the video?

Hence why I asked; I dont have the OGM yet, let alone know most of the info about the program VDUIB/VDUBMOD.

VirtualDubMod should open OGM files; VirtualDub is AVI only.
What do you mean by "VTS format"?

just a guess but if you by VTS mean video for DVD, that's the same as mpeg-2.

VTS is DVD format, yes. Every time I use something like Nero or Roxio without that, something ends up getting cropped and it's over-pixellated; so I was hoping I could find a program that would make it burnable in DVDShrink.

So you have an OGM file and you want to make a DVD-video from it?

You will need to re-encode the video to DVD-spec MPEG-2, and the audio to MP2 or AC3. Then you need to multiplex the video and audio streams and author a DVD.

By all means get VirtualDubMod, open the file, have a play around with frameserving to TMPGEnc or whatever. If you're finding the learning curve too steep, try a simple one-click solution such as ConvertXtoDVD.

On further thought, why do you even want to convert to DVD? There are much better options available to you. For instance, you could simply hook up your PC to a TV using the TV-out connection.
Or use XBox Media Center to play the file (if you have a modified Xbox, of course!)

Do you know exactly what's contained within the OGM file (most likely Xvid video and Vorbis audio)?

Well, it's the pokemon theatrical version Molly made.
It has 2 audio tracks and one video; v1 has no subs or dubtitles. And as for the TV-out thing, I don't know where to get those... is there a good place? I would like to know.

My bad. I've not worked with OGM files.

"you could simply hook up your PC to a TV using the TV-out connection."

Not every videocard has that option.

Many video cards have a TV-out, normally a mini-DIN connector that carries an S-video output. Look round the back of your computer, next to the VGA (or DVI, if applicable) connector where your plug your monitor in.
