Your input string would be something like this:

mencoder -vf scale=240:180 dvd://1 -o <output file> -of avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64
Just gave this a try with Jackass 1 and Kil Bill Vol2,,, both are giving me this:

----------------------
Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
Reading disc structure, please wait...
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
Can't open VMG info!
File not found: '1'
Failed to open dvd://1.
Cannot open file/device.

Exiting...
Press any key to continue . . .
--------------------------

Any ideas?
