ffmpeg is your best bet for high quality video from a dvd, I've never used it but handbrake looks like an ffmpeg front end.
That's what the docs and the Wikipedia page says.
You will need to configure it for high quality which seems to be selecting the high profile preset. The bitrate is part of the configuration and you can output to mpeg or mkv containers.
There's a lot to configure: <quote> Users are able to customise the output by altering the bit rate, maximum file size or bit rate and sample rate via “constant quality”. HandBrake also supports deinterlacing, decombing, scaling, detelecine, and cropping (both automatic and manual). </quote>
If you click on help it takes you to a web based comprehensive guide to converting your dvd's.

I'll be interested to know what your experiences with handbrake are.
Mine have been positive. There's a LOT in there and requires commitment to experiment and determine what is best for different playback devices. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
