Ogm to Avi

I've noticed that a lot of anime, especially across BitTorrent, is .ogm or .mkv format. Now I've got no idea what these are or what to play them with.

Fan someone tell me what file types they are (video, hopefully), what sort of quality I can expect, and any software that I can use to covert them to (DivX) .avi format?

Thanks a bunch for any help http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

I posted this on your other thread:

To play OGM this is what i do

first I install these files

1. FFdshow: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...3.exe?download (there are other versions, but this is what I use)

2. Vobsub: http://www.filemirrors.com/search.sr...obSub_2.23.exe

3. Ogg Filter: http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0/tobias/OggDS0995.exe

3. xvid: http://www.stargeek.com/item/36425.html

After I have installed those I open them with Media Player Classic (not windows media player)

Here's the link:
for 2000/XP version: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/g...5.zip?download

for 9x/ME version: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/g...5.zip?download

And that's it


Quality is very good... a program for convertion I dont know but someone posted one on the other thread
