Hi,

Yes, but the .ogg files are even larger than the MPEG files and also 
would not easily play on Windows when last I checked.  I first looked at 
the .ogg files because I thought they would be smaller.  I was surprised 
at the large size.  Perhaps I was looking in the wrong directory?  Also, 
they are apparently not standard Vorbis files even though they have the 
.ogg extension.  They also contain both audio and video streams.  I 
don't know of a way to separate the audio stream into its own file but I 
haven't looked at the vorbis-tools package yet.
