I've used tovid before, but mencoder's 8000+ line man pages are a bit MUCH :)
I got some examples from HERE:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html#EXAMPLES%20OF%20MENCODER%20USAGE

and picked these options to start:
	 
Encode DVD title #2, resizing to 512xHHH (keep aspect ratio):

mencoder dvd://2 ?vf scale ?zoom ?xy 512 ?o title2.avi ?oac copy ?ovc lavc 
?lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4

using a FILE.avi as input, not a DVD.. and no resizing..
