Ogg is a framed power spectral density format.

Or, of course, if you want to record it so any old CD player can play it (which I think was the original question) then you have to convert it to PCM (or .wav, or raw, or whatever you want to call it) and stick it on an audio CD. If your audio CD holds ~72 minutes of audio then you will need three CDs to hold it. If you *don't* care about playing it on audio CD players (and my impression was that the original poster does) then your method is correct.
