Look you can listen to people who dont do it for a living or you can listen to me ...take your pick

Heres the rub

if you shoot in MiniDV your process is simple

capture to PC
edit
encode to what you want

if you shoot DVD

xfer to PC as a file

recompress to DV format (MPEG2 cant be edited with frame accuracy and most systems cant edit it real time)

edit

encode to what you want.

you would NOT want to capture from DVD as that would even further degrade your quality

trust me on this one...MiniDV
