I wrote this Tutorial some time ago on a movie topic, never did I remembered to put it here. But its never late for good things to do or to say.
This entire idea of "small sized high quality" rips (especially for people with slow connections, without RS accounts and generally for everyones convinience) came from our dear member "Adzapper", so this is his legacy, but he never wrote any tutorials :P.
But he did helped somewhat with his pointers, although this tutorial is entirely my work, and "my way" of doing it. I hope it will help you for making these awesome rips.
Here are the links of 300MB MOVIE TOPIC's. Be sure to check them out!
On Original Thread the team members were:

This is the second thread, cause the original one was deleted, frankly I don't know why, but surely Adzapper had more important things to do :), this second topic was started by "mini x264" member, as a result of great demands for these movies.

BRIEF TUTORIAL FOR MeGUI AND ENCODING FROM HDrips AND DVDrips!
1. Installing and Updating:
install MeGUI, update it. (Update is a MUST! then load all profiles offered during the update!)
2. Opening and Creating Avisynth
http://i33.tinypic.com/28lv02q.jpg
When you run the program, File/Open your source film,
(SOURCE MUST BE GOOD QUALITY -- HD, HDrip, DVDR, DVDrip or atleast R5 LINE --, don't bother with low quality sources) it will ask you to create AVS file, its mostly needed for resizing, cropping,filter information, and source path of course. Just untick/unselect the Resize, cause if you temper with the resolution it doesn't turns out quite well, so original resolution is fine without resizing.
Only HD and DVDR need to be resized and cropped!

3. x264
Cause a lot of you can't find HQ Slower profile, here are MY profiles (updated), just unpack them in the megui directory and overwrite yours and when you run the program all profiles should appear!
Download link:

Make sure that codec is x264 and container/extension/File Format is MKV. Use HQ Slower profile (it takes some time to encode, for me its like 3.5hrs, and on dual core processors its around 2hrs.) or even HQ slow (not much faster but with less command lines). Experiment with it, look at other people rips (especially Adzapper's, then compare to your own), maybe you find even better profile than HQ slower.
Right now I'm testing Sharktooth's custom profiles that can be found here:

4. Audio
http://i34.tinypic.com/6771ug.jpg
Audio source (input) is the same as movie source file! Open it, then find the source video file. (example: if you have opened troy.avi then created avisynth script troy.avs, after that you click on Audio input "troy.avi file IS Audio input/source!)
Select it and open, select codec to be NDAAC (Nero Digital Audio Codec) Use profile NDAAC-HE-64kbs, then select Adaptive bitrate and set from 45-50kbs (thats enough for decent audio quality and extremely high compression!) or you can use LAME MP3, go to config, there is not much things you can do here just change the bitrate from 128 to 80 (below that, the sound isnt very good) click OK.
NDAAC (Nero Digital Audio) is one of the best codecs, probably even better than LAME cause it can do high audio compression while preserving decent audio quality at small bitrates.
If you don't have installed nero digital audio codec download it here:
http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nerodigital-nero-aac-codec.php
Then copy all the files (neroAacDec.exe, neroAacEnc.exe, neroAacEnc_SSE.exe, neroAacTag.exe) from extracted directory (win32) to C:/Program Files/MeGUI/. Do not copy the entire directory, only files.
5. Final Step
In the lower right corner you have "Autoencode" tab. Click on it.
http://i33.tinypic.com/zx9xsw.jpg
Select a Container to be MKV (if it isn't already). This is where you decide the entire outcome/bitrate of the movie. Click "average bitrate" option and type the desired bitrate (example 500kbs total, 450kbs goes to video 50kbs to audio, of course if audio is set to 50kbs if it is set to higher bitrates then it will lower video bitrate), that is depending on movie duration your size and bitrate will vary. Aim to get the size 1MB BELOW the targeted size, if its 300MB rip, aim to 299MB, if its 400MB rip, aim to 399MB (this is because of compressing with winrar so you dont get fourth rar file on 300MB rips that is like 1-2MB's)
6. Encoding
http://i34.tinypic.com/16jr77m.jpg
In autoencode window click Queue. In upper left corner you have the tabs Input/Queue/Log. Click on Queue. Click Start. If no workers exist program will offer to create one!
And thats it. Now you have to wait :P, in my case 3 hrs. Not a very fast computer. ;)
As Adzapper said, 100MB is 30min of the movie, 200MB is 60min of the movie, you get the point.
