Have you tried handbrake? I've used it to convert some stuff for my iPod, it can convert to .avi and many other formats. You can choose the size of the picture if you want to compress it more and it's open source. It's the best free video converter I have found.

EDIT: If you want smaller ISO images you could use DVD Shrink, that works well too.
