i have some home movies shot on a sony dvd handycam (i know it sucks but it was a loaner and free). so anyway now i got 7 little mini dvd's that have all the raw footage on them. i have tried a number of ways to rip the video/audio off of these things to edit and make a nice dvd movie in premiere pro 2. i used premiere elements, tmpgenc, nero recode, manually copying the vob's and renaming them to .mpg and try and use directly in pp2. anyway pre. elements does the best job of ripping and keeping the video quality up to par but the audio stream is like 5 minutes off from the video. everything else ive used keeps the audio in sync but the video looks horrid especially when the camera moves around and the faster the cam moves the worse these lines form in the video. almost like you can see each interlaced line. btw im trying to rip to mpeg2 in all of these. should a try to rip to an avi? i have the entire adobe video/audio production suite (and elements) at my disposal. anyways any advice is much appreciated.

TIA

k, just installed it. now what steps do i take to get this thing off the dvd. export, demux, not sure which way to go with this thing

used the demux tool to rip the video/audio. quality sucks video wise. picture does same as others as far a getting those blurry lines when the camera moves.

Those "blurry lines" are interlacing (look it up in the glossery). They stand out on your PC because it is a progressive display. On your TV you don't see them at all (hell, they were there on your original disc). Just edit and burn, and when you play it back on your TV you won't see them.
