never go UP in bitrate, that wont do anything but screw up your files.
what format are you going to, as some software is better for moving to some formats over others.
The line probably has to do with interlacing, btw. are you planning to play it on a computer or tv?
just set a crop to remove a few pixels off both the side and the bottom. thats the simple way. you should do both(a side(or both) and the bottom) to maintain aspect ratio, btw.

Thanks for the response
- Never thought about the .VOB thing, that's worth a try.
- I'm using default bitrates on the various ripping programs, but they're all set fairly low - the latest one I tried defaulted to 600.
- Trying to go to .WMV.
- Have tried at least one ripping program with deinterlace option, but still get the same problem. It's for playing on users' computer - on a VOD site.
- Actually, that was my original question lol - if there was a way to crop and rip at the same time without having to rip and then re-crunch in order to crop, and I had to find a program that would do that. So far I've tried one, and I guess because it was so intensive a task (crop and rip a 2 hour DVD) I got the bsod
But I'm still trying different approaches; my only concern now is once I get past the bsod problem, I'll end up with a file that's smaller than 640x480 (because of the crop), and my VOD encoder needs 640x480 to work with <sigh>.
