OGM has a head start here. Many of the DVD ripping gurus (eg.
alt.binaries.monter-movies) are using it with XVid/vorbis, even
the Windows guys.

Don't give up on MPlayer, it may not get an official .deb but it
still works and many people are using it. It does play OGMs and
in combination with Moritz Bunkus' ogmtools you can create them too.
There are also DirectShow filters for playing OGMs in WMP.

Surely that's only three :-) I believe the MCF spec is still not
complete. OGM may not be completely specified either but it's out
there and people are using it. Matroska may be the best long-term bet,
but only if people think it better than OGM.
