Pick a good video codec (XviD or whatever). Use full-proc mode and add the filters you need (deinterlace for TV stuff, then resize). The rest is simple: open your doo-dah M2V file. Use the ACM-AC3 codec in VDub (audio -> compression). Get an ACM edition of AC3 (you can find one on ). or encode using Lame-ACM or select Wave-MP3 output in BeSweet. Just to point out that WIZARDMAGIX tried to open an ac3/mp3 in VDub - VDub only supports files within the WAV container - ie with a RIFF header for windows' ACM. Remember to use heavy compression for the DRC in Azid. Once you have an AC3 file and a M2V file, work with your audio to get a d**n good-quality wav (maybe consider lowpass at 13400Hz and resample to 32kHz rate). Use DVD-Decrypter to rip your DVD using the stream processing option with demux. VDub always used to irritate me how it would open MPEG1 but not MPEG2.
