Convert OGM Video File?

I have a video file in .ogm format. I can play this okay on my Mac with both VLC and Mplayer but I'd like to burn it to DVD. In spite of searching high and low on Google, and trying every app. on my Mac (incl. Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, et al) they all just reject the file.

Does anyone know of something that will achieve this, or am I seeking the impossible?

check out that application. it does about everything.
if it cannot make a mpeg2 file, or create a .vob for you (which it should)
it will create a QT file that you can use with compressor.

please donate to the application. I did because i use it everyday. thanks.

FROM THE ABOVE LINKED WEBSITE:

How about formats like OGM, Matroska, Windows Media, and Real Media?
For formats like those, until someone writes a QuickTime component to support those formats, they will need to be converted or demuxed. Unfortunately, if you're not comfortable using the Terminal and fiddling with bash or tsch, it's going to be very hard to convert OGM and Matroska files for use in iMovie. For OGM, you will need a demux the OGM to separate AVI and OGG streams using a set of command line tools called "OGMTools." For MKV, you will need MKVtoolnix to separate them into AVI and WAV streams. Alternative locations for those two command-line based tools are also Fink and DarwinPorts if you prefer to compile them from the source
