I'm using DVD Decrypter to rip series 2 of The Inbetweeners, all of the episodes rip fine except for episode 4 which has a higher frame height than the others, 720x544 instead of 720x416. Is there anyway to change this before I rip or does it need to be solved after I convert it to an AVI?

I'm not getting anything like the numbers you've mentioned, would it have anything to do with the monitor I'm using and the programs resizing the videos based on that?
If you've not heard of it The Inbetweeners is a TV series not a movie if that makes any difference?
Yeah I've ripped the episode to a VOB file, its frame has a larger height than the other episodes for some reason and so it retained its larger height when I converted it to an AVI.
Regardless of the sizes is there anyway to alter them either after ripping it or after converting it?
What resolution is the oddball VOB file, what's it's aspect ratio listed as and what are you using to convert to AVI and what output size resolution were you aiming for?.
Because AVI uses square pixels, the converter program has to keep in mind the aspect ratio while resizing the original - and many converters insist that the final resolution be divisible by 16.
If the avi has been resized to respect the AR and your monitor is the same AR, the size does not matter - it should still fill the screen.
The same applies if you were playing it back on a DivX capable DVD player and your TV is the same AR.
Those numbers are from the AVI files. I don't know the size of the VOB without ripping it again but is there anyway to change the frame height in DVD Decrypter?
I've been trying to change it through Virtualdubmod after converting it to an AVI but I'm running into bigger problems there.

No it's for ripping.
In VirtualDub you either change the frame size using absolute pixels and ignore the aspect ratio (which means it's distorted) or elect to use the framing options and letterbox/crop to your desired size.
