    Whenever I rip and convert a DVD to .avi format, I like to give it about 1G per hour to get a decent resolution. Someone told me that if I give it too much resolution, it would be like stretching a postage stamp so that the picture would lose video quality. Is this true?

    No.

    And you are confusing bitrate with resolution (pixels).

    You can't degrade a converted image or video by making the result larger, but you do reach a point where there is no improvement.
    1 GB/hr is a long way from that limit.
