Did you try finding a converter for wmv? Convert to avi then convert to ogg. I know it's an additional step but not every journey is a straight line in this business.

Simply put, if there is audio the video is synchronised with it (with the help of MagicalTrevor). If there is no audio then the elapsed time is used to determine what video frame to present.
A cursory look indicates that there is a bug in the MagicalTrevor code. One of the variables is defined as signed when it should be unsigned. This causes a comparison to sometimes fail and generate the error message you are seeing.
As this is not a private forum I cannot post what I believe is the cause of your problem. I will investiage this and try to confirm my suspicions. If this is the problem I'll see about posting a fix in the private forums.

I've been porting my game over to 1.5. My version of 1.4 was one of the first builds and the fix hadn't been applied. This works perfectly without any error messages in 1.5 Thanks for helping. :)

I tried the "theora goodies".... how is the converter supposed to work? I ran it, I saw some quick DOS stuff, and then it quit in one second. The .avi I'm trying to convert is in the same folder. Any instructions for this thing? I installed the .ogg codec first.
