Hi 

I'd like to rip a movie on DVD such that it fits one CD -- so that its
under around 700MB say...

I've used mencoder for this, but the resulting .avi always seems to be
over 900MB. (I've tried scaling it to a lower resolution as well --
512xHHH, DivX5 -- but that didnt seem to help).

I surely can rip the movie in two parts (selected chapters), but there
clearly must be a way to do this since many DivX movies that I have
easily fit a CD.

(I'm using the instructions at the end of the mplayer manpage, and am
using DivX5 with libavcodec)

Also, is there any other software that I could use for this? 

If you have any other tips/pointers on DVD-ripping, could you please
let me know as well?

Any help would be welcome :)
