You will find there bunch of tools to encapsulate video stream inside
ogg stream normally used for vorbis audio.

Advantages:

- you can place as many audio streams as you want in ogg stream;
- you can use vorbis audio instead of mp3 -- better quality with lower
  bitrates (I encode audio in tv series in vorbis 64kbps and it sounds
  way better than mp3 at 96 or even mp3 at 128 usually found in AVI);
- you can have several subtitle streams inside the ogm file, so there is
  no longer a need to have several different files with second audio,
  subtitles etc
- mplayer and xine can play it as well as any decent windows player
  (provided you installed OggDS filters available on the net); for
  windows I would recommend bsplayer;

Disadvantages:

- it's not avi

PS. Technically it's .ogg stream, but due to the way Windows treats
filename extensions (since the first implementation of video-in-ogg was
on windows) by convention the ogg stream with video is called .ogm (for
ogg media).
