Unfortunately, you will always need the MP3 libraries if you playback DVDs.

Because, you see, MP3 = "MPEG Audio Layer 3", and is the encoding used for the
audio tracks on a DVD.

And I don't know of any playback devices for Ogg that I can purchase down at the
local personal electronics store.

Although I *am* interested in seeing the new DIVX(MPEG4) playback/PVR devices
that are coming to market.

IMHO, we've got more important things to work on than eradicating the world of
MP3s. Like the DMCA, the MPAA, the RIAA, poverty, outsourcing US jobs offshore,
world hunger, AIDS, cancer, global warming, non-renewable energy, ... you get
the picture.
