There are two ways. One is to actually convert the files on the DVD 
back to DV using some software solution that other listers are more 
familiar with. I go low.
I just run the DVD into my Sony Media converter and capture the footage 
as DV . Once you reduce it and make Mpeg4's or whatever  it should 
still look pretty good.
