Granted, but once I import the .ogg into Qt, I can add other media 
(Video, flash whatever) and save it ut as a self-contained movie, or 
hint it and stream it.

I suppose I wasn't clear about what is the encoded data and what is the 
container. If the ogg layer is vital then it becomes part of the media 
data, not part of the movie structure?
