/me uses mencoder for this, a bit like the following (usually scripted,
actually):
mencoder -alang en dvd://tracknumber -vf scale -zoom -xy 800 \
-o outputname.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
codec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=800 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=256
from a GUI perspective, I've always liked ogmrip, which is a graphical
frontend to mencoder.
It is almost certainly in an APT or YUM repo somewhere.

I think mencoder can do that as well, as can avidemux.
