DVD to VCD
You have to run 24FPS Pull down, DeMacro, sample one audio stream only to between 112 and 192 Kbps, Video rate to about 1020Kbps in VCD format at 352 X 288 (PAL) or 352 X 240 (NTSC) and use highest quality motion search, filtering, and audio encoding while bumping up audio level a bit. I just ripped KISS OF THE DRAGON (1 hr. 38 min) to a 700MB CD. Final file was 809 MB, but thanks to Mode2 formatting, the disk is actually only 714MB's. Took DVDx about 7 hrs to rip it on the fly. TMPGEnc can do it in about 6 with a progressive scheme, but I only use that for larger movies (that's how I got Harry Potter down to 960MB's--couldn't get smaller without it looking crappy, so I ripped it with DVDx on 2 CD's instead).
DVDx and TMPenc RULE for DVD to CD conversion--and they are FREE!! They might prove useful to you DVD Ripper's out there as well.
