I suggest you try out Ogg Theora for Ogg-based video. It's fully documented and, well, patent-free (whereas OGM requires a MPEG-4 license to be distributed legally - it was produced by a 3rd party, not Xiph). You can grab a copy using Subversion from http://svn.xiph.org/ in trunk/ -- Diversity is the Fuel of Evolution, Conformity it's Starvation. Be Radical. Be New. Be Different. Feed Evolution with Everything You Are.

OGM allows *any* video format with a FOURCC code to be put into an ogg file. While a large proportion of ogm files around do in fact use divX or similar, that's through the choice of the content encoder not because of ogm. OGM can also embed raw video formats like RGB or YUV raw types, which have no patent issues. OGM is just a codec meta-header. Zen.
