I have done similar things by hooking a DV camera to the DVD player and recording the selection. I then imported it into the new project and worked with it from there. The quality was good and it was an easy way of accomplishing this if not the ideal way to do it. Working with the compressed video will force you to compromise some of the quality no matter what solution you choose and I chose this solution.
