I have found a way around this :)

There is a perl script called 'ogmencoder'. As the name suggests, it
creates ogm files. What it does is use MPlayer or rather mencoder for
ripping video, then transcode to rip the audio & convert it to OGG
format. The script is very well written and allows many options.
Disadvantages are that you need transcode, mplayer, libvorbis, libogg,
oggtools etc. More info on their googled page :)
