I want to convert a dvd rip. is is 640x272, 24FPS. Someone please tell me the exact settings you would use. I have converted quite a few movie's before but never a DVD rip. I will use TMPGenc, if there is sometihng better to sue tell me. Thanks.

sounds like it is almost NTSCfilm (23.976fps)
I would use TMPG, and the NTSCfilm template.
under settings, advanced, use 16:9 source, and full screen keep aspect ratio. I get good results with these settings and 640x272 files.
you could also use CCE for the increased speed/quality if you'd like, just make sure to run your file through pulldown after encoding to enable the pulldown on playback(TMPG has this enabled in the film template)
if you do use CCE, I would use avisynth with the following script:

avisource("c:\path\file.avi")
bicubicresize(480,360,0,0.75)
addborders(0,60,0,60)
resampleaudio(44100) #'crashfix' for athlons

this should give good results as well

Just a little correction. Since the source aspect ratio is ~1:2.35 and not 16:9, resize as follows.

BicubicResize(480,278[,b,c])
AddBorders(0,96,0,106)

or

BicubicResize(448,260[,b,c])
AddBorders(16,108,16,112)
