Ogg Vorbis? Dual Audio? Several languages?

I got Ogg Vorbis and some .ogg files[correction: .ogm files] to play, it says they are dual audio, does this mean they have multiple languages? IIRC I've heard about something like that with regards to Ogg, how can I choose which language I want if so?

I sure can't change it in WMA.

Use a program like BSPlayer or DivX. You should be able to change the audio streams.

Actually, I remember being able to, with the .ogg codec, change audio on my Gundam Wing encodes in WMP. I'll check up on that.

with QCD Player you can convert .ogg files into .mp3. from there you should be able to feasibly encode them into .wma if you really wanted to.

I think he's talking about video files.

WMA = windows media audio
WMV = windows media video

I don't see why anyone would dual encode a strictly audio file. Oh well.

You CAN switch between them in WMP.

Yes Ogg, I found that extremely funny too, I'm reminded of the phrase "Radio Ogg" from one of the books and for reasons unknown to even me, I find that phrase hilariously funny.

Oh, it was a video file and I meant WMP, not WMA.

And I got it to work with something called Zoom Player.

Isn't converting from Ogg to WMA bad since you are converting from one lossy to another? Converting Ogg to Mp3 to WMA is even worse. :roll:

.ogg quality is just as good as most mp3 quality. the only real problem is it isn't as universal a format as .mp3

No, the problem is when you convert from one lossy format to another, you lose significant quality (I usually can't tell the difference between bitrates, but even I can tell the quality loss from an mp3->cd->mp3 conversion).
