mp3 is a propriatary format, encumbered by patents in a number of
countries. The patent owner has allowed decoders to be used for free, but
restricts encoders. Thus the use of an mp3 encoder may infringe patent law
in your country.
However assuming this has been taken care of, under Linux the primary
encoder is a program called lame. (Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder).
So convert the dvd tracks to something like a .wav file, and then feed that
through lame.
