OVA and *.ogm files

[sgq]

What is OVA?
How do I play *.ogm files?

[Elberet]

OVA is short for "Original Video Animation". It refers to how the anime was first released: OVAs are not being broadcast over TV, but are sold exclusively on DVDs (or years ago, VHS).

In order to play OGM files, you either need a player with built in support for that file type (such as VLC - the VideoLan Client), or you need to install the OGM Splitter DirectShow-Filter.

Installing this filter allows any application that uses DirectShow (i.e. Windows Media Player) to open and read OGM files - however you also need the proper codec or DS filter to decode the video stream in the file into an image. More info can be found in this AnimeReactor thread.

I tired downloading the OggDS Filter from this link:

"For ogm-files and ogg audio: - [Direct Link to v0.995]
Use the OggDS-Filter from http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm."


and it's not working. anyone know the current link?

I just did a quick search and that is still the correct site. I tried it and it works fine for me. Maybe there was just a problem when you tried it, try it again.

"You might want to remove the dot after htm, if you click that link yourself "

it wasn't the site that wasn't loading. I accidently added the dot after I pasted it in here. It was after I tried the download button at the site. But, I tried it again today and it worked.
Go figure right? Anyway thanks for the help!
