That's true.

I would have also preferred to use OGG/Theodora, but we have decided
against it, because it will not play on many Windows PCs, because they
do not have the codecs present. I also did a lot of testing in
minimizing the video size. I would doubt, that 20MB files are convenient
to watch. I might be wrong, because all I know about video encoding I
have learned in the past six or seven weeks. If you can give me a hint,
how to encode a video DVD best to a 20MB OGG video, I'll give it a try
at the weekend.

I'm pretty much aware of this issue.

Best regards,
