Ok these guys are in Canada, but maybe worth investigating – heliviz dot com. Saw them at a trade show promoting golf course video

For all practical purposes, since you have DV in, then DV out will be no worse. The only reason for uncompressed might be if you plan to process this video through something else downstream like combustion. Since DVD mpeg is way worse quality wise than DV, exporting as an intermediary to DV will not make things worse. But if you are going to DVD anyway, why not just export in MPEG2 from the timeline?

Why not just record black over the non-client stuff – after all that is not part of what he paid for.

Mpeg1 is typicaly encoded at 1 megabit per second – 900 seconds will result in a file of 90 megabytes – which is qite large. Anything Quicktime will be larger than comparable (IMNSHO) in windows media. 320×240 looks very nice at 300 kbp but still results in a file of about 30 mb. Your slighly larger 440×320 will look pretty good at 500 kbps. The wmv export from PPro is pretty good. 300 kbps will be acceptable if you have little motion and no small titles.

just rename the original xxx.vob copied from the DVD to xxx.mpg using windows explorer. nothing else

I had a similar problem with VOB files that I had renamed as mpg. Could not import more than one into a project. No problem with seeing the video and audio. The computer has DVD playing software which provides the mpeg-2 codec. Solved the problem by importing just one mpg at a time and then directly exporting to avi, then assemble and edit the resulting avis. Took a bit longer than planned, and of course quite a bit of disk space.

And then there is Head On – obviously repetiton works.

I only did one like this – all created out of stock video and animated stills. All rotated in a 16×9 Premiere project – so that when looking on the computer screen it was sideways – but when played out (real time) to a real vertically mounted monitor (only a small one mind you) it looked ok. None of the 4×3 source elements were used full screen – titles and other graphics elemenst filled the bottom or top. In fact, most elements were used in a PIP fashion. Looked good when seen from the intended distance.
I would guess that if you shoot footage in SD, you make sure that you can cut off as much as is required from each side.
