firstly and foremostly to the tremendous human being Gufiak , i salute , thank and applaud you .
Not only for the firmware alternative you have developed and shared with us all , but for being a what i sense is a genuinely nice, decent thoughtful and patient human being , the rarest kind .
after having read much of these forums , some bits several times , i cannot fathom the depth of patience you actually have and yet still wish to give to everyone . Thank you for sharing your genius with us all and allowing us to share in your personal project.
apart from a few people here and there , most people are purely about asking for more sure they start off with a thank you and then get straight into a request , now this in itself isnt poor form when done politely and with consideration that GUFIAK HAS A LIFE.
it ISmost exceptional poor form to prod and poke almost as though GUFIAK is an actual pioneer firmware developer who has been assigned to this forum to obey all and sundry ....perosnally GUFIAK , i care not a fig when or more importanly IF you get time to share more of your brilliance with us all , you ensure you live life , get time to actually enjoy watching stuff on your own machine and doing things which make you a happy human
good work to all those who actually help out on the forum and partially shield Gufiak from some of the inannity , kudos
now on to my lil experience and question for anyone who may be able to help (Except Gufiak , even if you know the answer and have had time to read this resist the urge and let others help ...however if you feel like sending me an email to tell me where i can donate to the "FUND FOR GUFIAK TO ENJOY HIMSELF " id be more than happy
bought the DV-686A $160 (cheaper than should be i can bargain hard) in brisbane australia , after much research and debate i love it and its well worth it most especially modified with GUFIAKs firmware (stoopidly enough a huge thing i love is the main screen , thats a wicked picture and i wouldnt change it for anything ) ....couldnt get MTZ version of GUFIAKS to be recognised by the 686 even though MTZs worked on 676A ....but anyways onward to the question as its bugging me a bit mostly cause im fairly dim
i cannot get .ogg or .ogm or .ogm/.ogg renamed to .avi to not do the funkiest thing and make the player actually hang ...hang so that i have to depower and hope it hasnt actually fried .....only tried 4 times and no more .....does anyone have further knowledge re .OGM.OGG and the pioneer ....any complete successes with these types ? and when they were in they would identify as MPEG4 and begin to play even with subtitles , but without audio .....i seem to recall reading that .OGG/OGM audio would only work with analogue .....but cannot find it again .....and unsure if this relates the the making it hang issue ...ie is the lack of audio making it crap out or just cause it aint handling the video real well or should i just give up and convert all my girlffriends anime to properlike .avi's ?
well thats it from me and once again Gufiak , love your work

...would you like us to put in a good word with Pioneer so you can get even a part time gig with them doing this for real ? just an afterthough but you probably already have quite enough going on ....to you and all the nice peoples , much love life and laughter to you , to all the rest , get yourselves into the room of mirrors for a long hard look at yourselves

To those of you who have had problems playing ogm files, I would like to offer a suggestion. It is to my
limited experience of ogm playback on DV-383 but I believe that fw-1.07 should give you flawless playback of ogm files. You can find the fw somewhere in this thread. This fw is currently not modded as the 1.09 is, to my knowlegde.
However, I am using Gufiak's latest fw which is based on 1.09 to play my xvids and divxs but not my ogms. For ogms I have to use the PC. Have to have the nice features the the modded 1.09 fw is offering.
But if you still want to watch ogms using your pioneer player, then use fw 1.07
