For fun I encoded a 2 hour movie last night using lxdvdrip, mencoder, and ffmpeg. It came out a little over 400MB in size and downloaded via a browser fine. Seems to have good audio sync. I didn't do anything fancy really. After running lxdvdrip I needed to fix the audio to something ffmpeg could handle with mencoder foo.vob -o foo.avi -ovc copy -oac mp3lame and then ran a two pass ffmpeg conversion with ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 -s 352:208 -b 400 -pass 1 outfile.avi ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 -s 352:208 -b 400 -pass 2 outfile.avi I think someone else suggested the manner of ffmpeg conversion I used elsewhere.
