I think Nero can handle OGG Vorbis if you install a plugin.

Are you wanting to save files as ogg files or are you trying to make a audio cd from ogg files?
If you want to save ogg files, save them as data.
Same thing with mp3's. All cd burners and apps have a data mode.
If your trying to make a audio cd, you need to decode the ogg files to wav first. Or I understand siren jukebox by sonic foundry will make audio cd's from ogg files.
sonic foundry stopped selling siren jukebox, but it can be found with a diligent search of the web. I recently downloaded a copy off the sonic foundry site myself.
Hope this helps!

Thanks. Im trying to burn them on cd, converting them again would be pointless and nero doesnt support it even with plug ins. I will check out this program and see what happens. Keep you posted.

Nero can burn your ogg files. I do it all the time.
which version are you using and can you specify exactly what your trying to do?
Make a audio cd or just save your ogg files.
Nero won't make a audio cd with ogg unless you convert your ogg to wav first.
You can use cdex to convert ogg to wav.
CDEX is freeware.
If you find Siren and need help let me know. You can't buy a registration anymore but there are ways if you know what I mean.

I understand what you mean by burning ogg files. But im trying to burn them as an audio as you would do with mp3s when listening to on cd player. I have the latest edition of nero and everytime i throw it in the window, "Nero cant read this file" I found the sonic jukebox from their site. It isnt installing on my computer, im assuming its because im running xp. If you find any other programs that support ogg, let me know. Thanks for your time.

well the file jabba|xtra just mentioned might help you. It looks like it would, but it's shareware. If you try it please let the forum know of your experience.
Converting to wav is not such a hassle really. CDEX will do it for you and it is fairly fast. Many other apps will also convert ogg to wav as well.
Once you have wav files your good to go.
It is a little bit of a hassle but it's worth it as you get a clean burn.
I been downloading some ape files lately. Those are the monkey audio format. And of course no app will burn it on the fly to cd audio, so I convert to wav, and like I said, it's not really wasting time, because the burning to fly essentially does the same thing, it just automates that step and it still takes the same amount of time, as it converts file to wav, saves it in temp directory and then burns the audio cd and it's all the same steps really. Just saving you from say 2 clicks or so. No big deal.
