>For example, I couldn't just take my DVD right here and mux all its streams into an Ogg and have it work. With Matroska, I could, and it'd be pretty darn simple to do as well.

Do you mean to end up with a single mkv file that includes all the menus etc, and is essentially indistinguishable from the DVD? A quick Google search didn't come up with any instructions to do this (admittedly it was *very* quick) - do you have any pointers?

Look for DvdMenuXtractor. It extracts all the meaningful info from a DVD file structure and prepares scripts to merge them back in Matroska with mkvtoolnix. It's not a 100% safe tool and is unmaintained. It was mostly a proof of concept, but VLC is supposed to play the produced files, including the DVD menus.
I don't suggest playing such files on the web though ;)

It's crazy, but I just rip the ISO files instead. :)

I'll take a look, thanks.
