Re: Error message and the lost boy

Goto http://www.divx.com and install the DivX codec (FourCC : DX50) and 
VirtualdubMod will be able to process these files, not only using 
'Direct Stream Copy'. The better idea is maybe to not use VirtualdubMod 
at all, but to get the fabulous VLC player from http://www.videolan.org 
, goto 'file' , 'wizard' , 'transcode/save to file' and convert the OGM 
into a MPEG file with MPEG2 video and MP2 audio, which can certainly be 
read by any DVD conversion tool out there.
Some of these tools, like DVD Santa or ConvertXtoDVD, may even be able 
to open the OGM directly if you have the right filters installed, 
meaning the OGM must play in Windows Mediaplayer already. Read the 
matroska DVD conversion Guide on http://www.matroska.org , 'Technical' , 
'DVD Conversion' to understand how this is done (its the same for OGM as 
for MKV = matroska files).
