I am basically ripping my DVDs and dropping the bitrate to conserve on space. 
During this I re encode the audio to mp3 format. I think i was trying mp2 at 
first.. not sure why i changed to mp3. Anyway here is one one the command 
lines I am using:

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg2:tsaf -vf 
scale=720:480,pp=fd,harddup -srate 48000 -af 
volume=20,lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=1500:keyint=18:vstrict=0:acodec=mp3:abitrate=96:aspect=4/3:format=YV12
 -ofps 
30000/1001 -o 1-Columbo.mpg dvd://2

That is a modified something I found on the interent. Had issues ripping a 
Stargate1 dvd since it was interlaced, with the example above I dropped the 
bitrate alot since it is a Columbo episode.. TV from the 70s...   doesn't 
need a high bitrate to me.
