Hello All -
I'm editing on a feature documentary which involves a number of source materials, but whose primary source is the AF-100. We're offline editing in Avid (DNX36) and will conform back to the camera original files for final color correction, then master to an HD file (not certain which format yet).
We just received some archival footage that only exists on DVD. It was shot Mini-DV, captured, and then burned to DVD (in Mpeg2 format). The original tapes have since been lost. I'm looking to get the footage off the DVDs in the highest quality format possible.
I've tried Handbrake but it really mucks up the image no matter what settings I use:

I'm now trying Mpeg Streamclip, but one of two things goes wrong. I can get the entire image but it's stretched, OR I get a slightly cropped image that's a tiny bit squeezed. Anyone out there have advise? Or should I be taking this to a professional shop with hardware?
