OK, screw that, now I am converting the whole file into an MOV encoded with the Apple DV codec at 100% quality. I'm guessing that this file is going to be a beast in terms of HDD space (it's currently converting, slowly), but from what I understand that's the best option to go with. I'm still new to all this and understanding how to make an efficient work flow is something I'm still learning, but right now it's looking like DVD Decryptor > MPEG Streamclip > Premiere > After Effects > Premiere > DVD editor (not sure which one to use yet). I'm also going to have to "obtain" the Dolby plugin for Premiere at some point so that the 5.1 audio which I fought so hard to import will be in tact.
