Tech Help 3: The Techening

[Schmeltz]

Once again I call upon the resident technical people of the BBMB to help me with my mundane e-difficulties.

I recently downloaded, via BitTorrent, a complete TV series in Ogg Media format (.ogm), and found that my Windows Media Player couldn't play these files. Searching for a resolution to this dilemma lead me to this website (http://www.jakeludington.com/dv_hacks/20060226_how_do_i_play_ogm_video_files.html), whose instructions I followed to the letter. Now my WMP will open the files just fine. But the problem is that in addition to playing the video, it also plays both language tracks (Japanese and English) simultaneously, producing unintelligible gibberish in the place of dialogue.

I can't seem to figure out how to get WMP to only play the English audio, as opposed to both at once. Anybody got a tip for me?

Try opening it with VLC (http://www.videolan.org/). It gives you the option to change audio language (right click on the screen).

VLC is the media player of choice for people who love media.... :)

When people call and ask about playing different types of media they either downloaded or got from a friend, we always recommend VLC.

neither of these two are lying.
