  Sorry but no.
  When you import something, you get it in it’s original format.
  If you want DV-AVI (raw DV), you’ll have to render to that after importing.

  You will have to convert it to DV if that is what you want after you import from the DVD. DVD’s video files (.VOB) are mpeg2 already – that is the format of a DVD. Using some sort of “capture” of the video from a DVD player is not going to get you any better quality than what you can get by grabbing the data from the DVD (mpeg2) and editing that into whatever format you need (although, any conversion between compressed formats usually results in lost quality)

  File – Import – DVD Camcorder Disc.
  As long as it’s not a commercial DVD, this works great.
