OGM is just a different video format from AVI (it's better Smile

). Video LAN Client is the player I use to play them. http://www.videolan.org/

SFV files are used for checking the integrity of other files (ie. the video files), to make sure they weren't damaged. But if you used BitTorrent to download the files, the sfv file isn't needed, since BitTorrent includes automatic integrity checks.[/url]

thanks so much. as you can see im a true newb. I saw an episode of full metal alchemist on cartoon network a couple of weeks ago and within a day im like addicted to the genre, loaded up my netflix qeue, got some stuff the oldfashioned p2p way, ran across THIS site, which is really really nice (layout, content, all of it).

also thanks to whoever moved this to the tech area, didnt see there was one Smile

ill be sure to put my next tech type question here.

nice site btw.

screw VLC (ultimate evil ! (nah great player, just don't like it))
http://ld-anime.faireal.net/ (guide to ogg & other codecs there, so u can use WMP)

Media Player Classic (windows media player-like. without the memory hunger, for Windows 2000 & XP) : http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Players/mpc2kxp6483.zip

it's amazing why wmp 9/10 do not support ogm extensions, but the classic version can... *shrugs* Wink

You can play ".ogm "files in Windows Media Player, you just need something like this: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89461

You can also add support for ".mkv" (Matroska Video) in a similar fashion.
