Not off-the-shelf but everyone would benefit from a software player supporting full DVD features using Ogg/Theora/Vorbis and someone could always make the design of a hardware player (using readily available parts, as I described in another post) available for free. We can't promote the use of open formats if there are no means of using them to replace proprietary or patent-encumbered ones. There are MP3 players that support Vorbis and, with recent lawsuits relating to MP3 licensing, there is incentive hardware manufacturers to embrace open standards *if* content creation tools exist for them.
