It's not the format so much as the resolution. See quoted previous
post below for more info on two methods; mencoder and tablet-encode.

If you forgive the plug, with tablet-encode[1] that'd be:

   tablet-encode -p best dvd: Incredibles.avi

(Or you could use the basic GUI to the same effect)

It's got a feature I'm quite proud of (simple, really): if you just
specify "dvd://", it'll find the longest title and rip that.

Cheers,

Andrew
