DVD Ripper homemade DVD rips to poor quality

[ht4cae]

Using v8.2.1.2, I am trying to rip a DVD that was made at my church using a Panosonic DVD burner. I can copy the DVD to my hard drive and view with good quality, but when I try to rip it to an AVI format so I can edit the video, the quality is terrible. The video is not in sync with audio, video is faster. The picture quality it bad, full of pixelation. I set the video effect to 640x480 to match the original, encoder method to 2-pass. No errors are reported in logs just a bad AVI copy.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, HT

Why rip it?

Edit the native files and then there is no quality loss!!!

Here's the log file

Attached is the internal.log
The reason(s) for converting the file instead of using the original .VOB files are
1) software like Sony Movie Studio and Adobe Premier Elements don't like VOB files that aren't from a video camera. The 1st vob file, in this case, all I get is audio but the 2nd vob file works fine. In other attempts, using other DVDs, the video and audio are not always in sync or multiple vobs don't align when connected. The transition isn't smooth, like a split second of the video/audio is missing. Finding software to do this is or making Sony and Adobe work isprobably a good discussion in another thread. I'd like to know !
2) due to #1, a single avi is easier to split, combine, and edit.
