Well the dev just added Theora as Codec, because i kept bugging him ;)

He said he doesnt plan on adding ogg, because it is limited to theora as 
video codec (which he doesnt use himself) and has higher overhead (as 
in "space wasted for container"), even for theora.

I think he would accept patches though (which I have no time to make 
right now, although I had it planned...).

Also shrip the CLI to ogmrip is very neat... I planned on making a 
Kommander-Frontend to it, but that got postponed, like so many other 
ideas :\

I think the main reasons for so few "Ogg-Rippers" is that 
mplayer/mencoder can't produce ogg-theora files. The 
Reference-Implementation (aka encoder_example) seems to frighten away 
lots of devs (I dont know why, but I havent used it myself yet).

Btw: I requested that as feature for ffmpeg some time back [1].
