you can rip vcd's into various formats using the "mencoder" tool present with mplayer. it supports encoding VCD/DVD tracks into various formats DivX, WMA (;-)) and audio encoding of the soundtrack using mp3, ac3, aac and various codecs. the encoded video and the encoded video is in the same avi file. to install mencoder, just install mplayer from source (if you want to encode soundtrack using mp3 format please install the lame mp3 encoder before hand and ensure that the path to libmp3lame is included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable). mplayer is available at http://www.mplayerhq.hu.
after you are done, you can check the output(encoding) formats available by:
1)audio output: mencoder -oac help 2)video output: mencoder -ovc help
example: rip track 1 of CD into an avi with file divx video and mp3 audio, (two-VCD movies on a single CD):
mencoder -oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:quality=standard -ovc libavc -lacvopts mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=650 vcd://1 -o The_matrix_cd1.avi
i am working to an interactive script to simplify this process which will be complete by next week (i've got my exams a month later). i'll send it over to you then.
happy ripping,

Santanu,
I find your detailed guideline about using mencoder very helpful. I compiled & installed the mplayer package recently but I'm not sure if I installed lame. Let me go check!
Thanks, - Manas Laha
