... is only for Windows or the Mac, and uses proprietary software.

Meanwhile:

http://slated.org/howto_transcode_h264_for_ipod_with_ffmpeg

Works on all platforms and video formats supported by ffmpeg, and IME
produces the highest quality results, albeit at a time cost.

BTW: Transcoding DVD's under Linux with this script, is a simple matter
of first ripping the vobs with:

mplayer dvd://{n} -dumpstream -dumpfile title{n}.vob

Then concatenating those vobs together with:

cat title1.vob title1.vob title1.vob >title.vob

Then running my podit script on "title.vob".

Although personally I prefer to use HandBrake for ripping DVDs to iPod:

Which is also Free GPL multi-platform software.
