I used DVD2SVCD a long time ago to rip a DVD of a 180 minute movie into 2 large files that I wanted to burn onto 99 minute CDs. My standalone player had trouble playing these CDs, however.

Now I've decided to revisit this project, but I'm beyond rusty. I want to recover the process and make 3 files.

1. At what step should I start the recovery process at?
2. What are the recomended max, min, and max avg bitrates to use for the video?
