i use osx panther, and when i try to play .ogm media, the error pops up saying unable to determine string type. Is this a problem with the person who encoded it? cause I can play a few .ogm files but not most of them

Please post the full error message.
VLC doens't contain an Error message that has the string 'string type' in it. Always provide detailed information on your problems, we cannot 'guess' what is wrong.

what else can i say...the message boy pops up saying unable to determine string type...thats all there is...

I checked again. there is no "unable to determine string type" in VLC.
I think you mean "unable to determine stream type"

This means vlc did not recognize your file as an ogm file.

uh sorrybout the mix up. but I kinda realized it doesn't recognize it as ogm Im not that computer stupid...I was wondering if this is because the person who packaged it didnt do it right or if its a problem with vlc. I assume its a problem with the packageing because its only select number of ogm i can't play
