Retaining Quality using DVDx

Hello there,
I have used this guide:
http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/26/59/

and I got a reasonable result in backing up my DVD.

However, I have a 16:9 widescreen HDTV (Sony CRT) and I want to maximise both the qaulity and size of my back-ups to get the most out of them. HDD space is not really an issue, 1.5 g - 2.6 g is acceptable for the back ups.

My current issues are:
1) Output settings in the above guide say "use 640x480 as the output res" Do I need to change this for my tv? The picture needs to be 'Zoomed' to fit the tv.

2) Pan shots have a slight 'jump' or glitch

3) The compression seems to be a bit high (although I am specifying a 1.47 g out put file. You notice the pixelation, particulary on dark scenes.

In short, I simply want to retain as much quality as possible in my DVD backups (around the 1.4-2.0 gig filesize) should I consider another method / or program?

Or, what do I need to adjust in DVDx to maximise the output qaulity?

Appreciate your help.
