Indeed. One of my first projects on Linux and mplayer/mencoder was transcoding a DVD stream into an .avi small enough to fit in a 640MB CD. Fortunately for me, most of the video stream is dark so the quality of the resulting video stream was bearable, and at the time I had only screens of up to 1024x768, so scaling back them seemed alright. -- Zak B.
