What do you do when a DVD is the only one of the images that you got?

OK, so here is the story, I posted something like this about a week on a discussion forum earlier, but now some of the components have changed.

A family member took some of our reel 8mm film transfer to have put images on DVD somewhere. Well the DVD's very, but I wanted to participate in this DVD and edit it so that I could make a film tribute of documentry about my father who died awhile back. On this DVD, ago about 8 minutes from the right sequence of him I would use, so I used a trial DVD Ripper/converter software and converted to MPEG2 and the results were excellent, quality appeared just as good as the DVD and I'd be fine with use for my documentry/tribute film, when I imported into first 1.5 it plays fine on the monitor and he actually plays great on the timeline, no complaints. Now when I'm going to make it, he plays all jerky as executives get all messed up or something. On this earlier discussion I posted this information, people had replied that I need to get the 8mm film and transferred it to mini DV or on a hard drive, so I can edit it from there. Although the problem is the film 8mm original got thrown after the DVD, so all I have is the DVD. Is there any setting I can change in first it is so jerky all like it when I make it or is it possible that I can have the DVD transferred to mini DV tape and then change it to first as usual? I don't know what to do and I really need the images on the DVD. I realize I'm going to lose quality, but that's all I have, so I have to make it work. Video transfer locations have the opportunity to put a DVD into a format which usually lose a lot of quality, is it possible to transfer mini-DV or is there a way I can? Please, please help,

Thank you

For those following along at home, I said to Jason by PM.

A large part will be eliminated, but given the situation, my recommendation is to use either a digital video camera with passthrough (or bridge of A & D) capabilities to food from the drive of DVD and DV - AVI Type II capture for editing. Yes, there will be always the first compression MPEG-2 (no way around it), and then, if the DVD-video is the scheduled release, another MPEG-2 transcoding.

I had suggested going back to the maximum with the flow, transcoding this topic to use in a DVD-video.

I hope that someone else has a plan even better for Jason, so that can get the best possible result, regardless of what the source of the layer footage is in this case.

It is also unnecessary to suggest that goes back to the original 8mm, they no longer exist. Obviously, if possible, which would be ideal and fair telecine on a miniDV cassette. Unfortunately, this is not a possibility.

Open to other ideas,

Hunt
