[dvd::rip] preferable codec?

[Dexter Filmore <Dexter.Filmore@xxxxxx>]

I recently encoded a movie with dvd::rip for the first time, 2 pass ffmpeg, 
result was pretty shoddy: while the image quality itself was ok (still image) 
there was a notable flickering as if the edges of objects were lit with a 
strobe. very faint, but notable.
So - any suggestions about the codec and settings?

Plus: I had to wait 4 hours before the 1st pass finished before I could 
preview. I don't see a sample preview function or so.
