Not only possible. I did it on several occasions so far, and can say that 
mplayer suite (including mencoder) is very powerful, at least for my taste. 
The drawback is that it isn't point&click, you are required to read a 
nontrivial amount of docs and man pages in order to set up all the switches 
the way you need.

Also, mencoder can do some basic filtering and processing of the image during 
the conversion. Things like resizing, flipping, cropping, adding sound etc. 
So you do not need to use Pinacle if all you wish to do is to convert the 
movie from 16:9 to 4:3, for example. However, if you need to cut&paste the 
movie or something more complicated, then...

I can also suggest using Sony Vegas instead of Pinacle. Not as powerful, but 
*much* easier to use. At least for me.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but could anyone explain me the concept of 
enryption of a movie (or any multimedia, in general). I mean, why is that
useful?

If I can watch the movie using the original dvd, ie if some sequence of images 
can be displayed on my screen, then it is in principle always possible to put 
that data not to the screen, but to a, say, file, and reprocess it later. How 
to do it is another story, but in principle it has to be possible. (The Linux 
philosophy -- everything is a stream of bytes...).

So why encrypt the data if it is intended for the end-user to see unencrypted? 
I mean, you can't stop him from copying it if he is allowed to see it...

Best regards, :-)
