why convert them, they usually have multiple sub formats or dubs.
ie english subs / no subs
jap / eng dubs

OGM - Ogg media. It's a video format that allows multiple/switchable audio/subtitle streams. The video still uses XviD codec but the audio is ogg vorbis. However, you need to use a player that allows you to select audio/subtitle streams such as MediaPlayerClassic. You can play it with WMP but you cannot select different audio/subtitles; WMP defaults to the 1st audio stream. WMP-9 does support multiple streams.
