Windows Vista Home Premium
Media Player: vlc 0.9.9
Then what I do:
Setting video to theora, audio to vorbis and container to matroska.
Further nothing changed and when clicking start transcoding, it says it fails.
Changing container to default it outputs an file ith a MPEG-PS container.
It outputs an .mpg file. What is this? MPEG1 is wrong!
It should use the OGG container.
Which is way superior compared to MPEG-PS.
shift + F8 for details about transcoded file:
MPEG-PS: 2.29 MiB, 45s 160msMPEG VideoMPEG Audio
I change the container to ogg.
It is still a .mpg file and what's worse.
The sound is gone!
(It should use the OGG container with .ogv as file extension.)
Then I change the container to NUT, hoping it does it right.
Nope, still a crappy .mpg file extension.
When trying to play with vlc, there is no sound and vlc shows an error message!
Translation:Geen bruikbare decodermodule:
VLC ondersteunt het "undf" audio- of videoformaat niet. Helaas kunt u hier weinig aan doen om dit op te lossen.
No usable decoder module:
VLC doesn't support the "undf" audio- or videoformat. ...can't solve blablabla...
When using matroska with the MKVMerge, MC gives the following message.
>The testing phase has failed.<
And flac doesn't works also,
when using with theora as video and default as container
MC gives a 015 muxer error occurs.
But ffmpeg allows flac, vorbis and theora in ogg container.
When using the options and choosing ffmpeg as muxer for NUT.
MC crashes.
And when going to sound, the channels are set as stereo but there is an option original available.
It is best to use original instead of some option that rules out stuff.
It could prevent information lost in some cases with inexperienced or diverted users.
The file is a brickfilm about a commercial.
I have a MP4 version,
can't find the link to where it is but it is put on youtube now.

Please look into and fix all the problems with ogg, nut and matroska mentioned.
They make it really difficult to experiment with codecs.
And creating trouble files isn't something users want to experience.
