Thank you SO MUCH! Exactly what was needed!  I didn't realize you could use
negative numbers there.  My working file:

"c:\program files\mplayer\mencoder.exe" -dvd-device e: -v dvd://1 -aid 128
-of mpeg -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -af resample=44100:0:0 -ovc lavc
-ofps 25 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=300:keyint=60 -vf scale=220:-2
-o dvd.sansa.mpg

Thanks again!
