I'm convinced that Fair Use is the best option that we have for encoding DVDs...I'm still playing with settings for the best fit for my needs. So far, making the files 250 MB with 80 kps sound works exceptionally well...I've also tried 200 MB at 72 kps, which is less nice. I'm giving the same movie a chance at 180MB, but I think I'll be settling on 250MB.

I simply suggest letting Fair Use do everything itself, save setting the size of the file and the quality of the audio encoding.

For the record (we're discussing this in the Multimedia thread), I've worked with both DVD to Pocket PC and the DVD Shrink followed by PocketDivXEncoder method. Fair Use is slower than either of the other two, but it's free, and I feel the end product is better for the size of the file.
