Hi Everyone
This is an annoying at the same time funny story. Ive downloaded a anime ogm/mkv video file on my comp, an hanime, cause i prefer it jap lang-english sub. Then this person found it on my comp and for some reason decides to edit and make it into an english language avi format video. She was thinkin "ive made it better than the unplayable original" I thought i was gonna cry that fateful day. If it were any other person ive probably have killed her but shes my girlfried so i just said "that's nice "
So my ? is there a possibility i can return this file into the original (ogm/mkv) format /w redownloading it or am i better off killing her. LOL
thanx in advance guys :)
As far as I can tell no.
However one alternative to killing her would be to (Quote 4chan) "Stick it in her pooper!"
not unless you have all the audio tracks lying around, which I'm guessing you don't. I'd just redownload it.
She re-encoded it and deleted the original? You can't undo that lossy recompression.
You can also spank her until she admits ogg/mkv are not inferior container formats. :3
OGG and MKV are for Slashdotters and people insecure about their e-penises. She was trying to cure you.
A female that's good at encoding? Impossible!
did she really re encode it or just renamed it?
codecs, codecs...

MKV is actually a container, it's not a format. OGG is a codec afaik.
OGM is a container, Ogg may be a codec algorithm in it, MKV is a container, which contains, for example, an XviD stream. If Direct Stream Copy was enabled in VirtualDub (or it's mod that supports the Matroska container), then chances are that the quality wasn't reduced.
As for the audio tracks, they get direct-streamed or converted to WAV, so unless there's an MP3 codec specified, the music isn't irreversibly degraded.
If she overspoke (dubbed) the tracks, then I'm afraid it's going to be botulin doing the trick.
But the girls are not the only ones to reduce the lossy quality without a reason. For example, when I gave my wallpapers to the "Computer" magazine, they resaved them, sometimes getting a larger file than the original! 0.0 And at animepaper.net, I submitted a file that had 412k and they resaved it to have 387k! What's the point?!?

You don't know what you're talking about. Ogg, OGM, and MKV are all container formats. Ogg just happens to be strongly associated with the Vorbis and Theora codecs, also developed by the Xiph.org foundation.

Post a link proving that Ogg is a container. In the sense of a format that allows various audio and video codecs to be stored within.
As far as I know, they created OGM to provide a free container to their Ogg as opposed to the proprietary AVI.

Anyone here who can suggest a good .mkv player? I doesn't work with VLC..
