  Considering that OGG is just a container format, the answer depends on what's inside that container.

    Yes, I know that OGG is just a container format.
    
    However, the phrase "OGG" has become synonymous with OGG format files containing audio compressed with the Ogg Vorbis codec. Similar to how the phrase "QuickTime" has become synonymous with QuickTime format files containing video compressed with the Sorenson codec.

        99.9% of .movs are Sorenson. Ergo, since people call .movs QuickTime, the GP is correct.

This includes the forked aoTuv improvements, that gave Vorbis a big hand up in the 128kbps listening tests on the rareware site pointed to in the top.
It's a forking good thing that it's all open source, hey? :)

My DVD player supports MP3, CDA, region free DVD, VCD, SVCD et al.

I wish it played OGG! I guess I need one of those quirky WiFi streaming thingies(TM) that will allow me to play audio from my computer, to my input on the DVD, and play it through my nice speakers... and the video too...

How do you go about making your computer (which is tucked away nicely in todays equivilent of a shed, where you can erm, smoke you pipe and not be hassled by your partner) the center of your multimedia experience in the living room? With you nipple erecting projector screen and 5.1 surround?

  You get 2 computers and some Cat 5e.
  If your shed like device is not attached to the rest of the house, I suggest you stick the cat 5 in some PVC pipe or something, when you run it under ground
  Oh.. and just be sure the nipple erecting area is close enough to the shed, I think the limit is like 100m or something.

  Stripping the filename from the link to the tarball results in a link to this directory [xiph.org], which contains the libogg tarball that you wanted (as well as zips).
  Slightly modifying the link points to this directory [xiph.org], which contains the vorbis stuff.

The aoTuV tunings have been found to be a large improvement. You can now use the standard Vorbis encoder again for top quality.

Most people in the scene have been using third party tunings and tweaks for a while, and this integration of the best 3rd party tuning results into the standard release after some intensive listening tests has been long awaited.

Here is the changelog:

libvorbis 1.1.0 (2004-09-22) -- "Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20040629"

* merges tuning improvements from Aoyumi's aoTuV with fixups
* new managed bitrate (CBR) mode support
* new vorbis_encoder_ctl() interface
* extensive documentation updates
* application/ogg mimetype is now official
* autotools cleanup from Thomas Vander Stichele
* SymbianOS build support from Colin Ward at CSIRO
* various bugfixes
* various packaging improvements

Forgive my noobness (Score:2)

Maybe I've been going about this all wrong but encoding in OGG never works out for me. I have looked around for tutorials on encoding but have not found anything helpful. Encoding with Lame is as simple as "lame -m -b 24 bla.wav". OGG is somewhat of a mystery to me. Can someone shed light on it with some links to resources and tutorials? I would really like to move away from closed formats like MP3.
