I tried that and the A/V gradually desyncs over time on my portable media
device.  These are the commands I used:

mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 1-2 -vo null -ao pcm

lame -b 96 --resample 44.1 audiodump.wav audiodump.mp3

mencoder dvd://1 -chapter 1-2 -o test.avi -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
bitrate=196:max_bframes=0 -audiofile audiodump.mp3 -oac copy -vf
scale=160:128 -ofps 14000/1001

Any hints or ideas?  Thanks.
