And I also wonder if the rip is _upscaling_ the dvd to 1080 instead of 
leaving it at SD resolution since about the longest dvd movie will be around 
a 5GB mpeg2 file.

How are you ripping the dvd?
Into what container?
(complete command lines and output, please).

I almost always decrypt/rip from the dvd to a .vob file, then convert from 
there.

z!
