If you want to go to VCD, use the "Video CD" preset.

To recompress it in vdub you will nedd to demux it with DVD2AVI then create an avisynth script(install avisynth first) and open that in vdub(virtualdubmod would be better).

A simple script will look like this.

===========================================
#PLUGINS:
LoadPlugin("C:\Plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")

#SOURCE:
Mpeg2Source("G:\MyCapturedFile.d2v")
===========================================

You will then proccess the audio as you like and mux it with the recompressed video.
