Hi Modred189 :
I am doing it the same way (DVDShrink & NVC) but sometimes NVC takes the wrong audio. I converted ID4 and the last of the 4 parts had the directors commentary audio track on it. Kinda ruins the movie when watching....
Any idea on a setting in NVC on how to select the right audio track?
I looked around but didn't find anything.

Transformers took three tries, all on the same settings, so I think it's a bug, not a setting.

I have a novice question on the N800 converter. Can the resolution be changed from 400x224 to a larger height and width?

Once you have dragged it to the left hand panel, you will click on the Compression Settings tab and unclick the unwanted languages and subtitles, then resize the picture quality to 50% or less. If you still want to cut the movie credits, under re-authored dvd section there is an icon for the set start/stop frames, click on it and select where you want to start/end the movie. Make sure the output file is an ISO, once it is finished, just drag and drop it to the NVC, I like the default settings, it suits my needs.

I usually deselect all secondary languages when I compress with DVDShrink (unless its German 
). But I guess I left the directors commentary in there.
But then - what if I want to leave it in there in case I want to burn the DVD for regular use in a dvd player ? hm?
Guess I need two copies of every movie. I am running out of disc space here - 500GB is not enough.

All the movies (few) that I have encoded with nokia video converter, the size of the movie is not full screen. There are black border all around. What am I doing wrong? What should be the screen size to see it full screen? The demo video says resolution of 400x240. I thought the converter would automatically convert the movie to the right size. What am I doing wrong?

I use mencoder which, with libdecss, can extract the files from a DVD and do a 2-pass encode. Here's a snippet from a script wot I wrote, use $INFILE as dvd://1 for example.
mencoder $INFILE $OPTS -quiet -subfont-autoscale 3 -subcp "latin1"
-font /usr/share/doc/packages/efont-serif-ttf -noodml -nosound
-vf scale=$OUT_X:$OUT_Y $ROTATE -sws 9 -ovc lavc
-lavcopts codec=mpeg4:turbo:vhq:vmax_b_frames=0:vbitrate=$VI DBR:vpass=1 -ffourcc DX50 -o $OUTFILE
mencoder $INFILE $OPTS -quiet -audio-preload 0.8 -delay 0.1
-af volnorm -srate $AUDSR -oac mp3lame
-lameopts mode=3:cbr:br=$AUDBR
-subfont-autoscale 3 -subcp "latin1"
-font /usr/share/doc/packages/efont-serif-ttf
-noodml -vf scale=$OUT_X:$OUT_Y -sws 9
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vmax_b_frames=0:vbitrate=$VIDBR:v pass=2 -ffourcc DX50 -o $OUTFILE
mencoder $INFILE $OPTS -quiet -subfont-autoscale 3 -subcp "latin1"
-font /usr/share/doc/packages/efont-serif-ttf -noodml -nosound
-vf scale=$OUT_X:$OUT_Y $ROTATE -sws 9 -ovc lavc
-lavcopts codec=mpeg4:turbo:vhq:vmax_b_frames=0:vbitrate=$VI DBR:vpass=1 -ffourcc DX50 -o $OUTFILE
mencoder $INFILE $OPTS -quiet -audio-preload 0.8 -delay 0.1
-af volnorm -srate $AUDSR -oac mp3lame
-lameopts mode=3:cbr:br=$AUDBR
-subfont-autoscale 3 -subcp "latin1"
-font /usr/share/doc/packages/efont-serif-ttf
-noodml -vf scale=$OUT_X:$OUT_Y -sws 9
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vmax_b_frames=0:vbitrate=$VIDBR:v pass=2 -ffourcc DX50 -o $OUTFILE

Similarly, if you don't mind using mencoder (which as speculatrix mentions can rip DVDs and has versions for most OSes including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X), my tablet-encode can help: it can automatically find the longest track on the DVD and rip that and even has a simple GUI on Linux:

I also had a demo version of SlyFox "Any DVD" which can work in the background of any other encoder to aide decryption.
