holy smokes. try after effects. it usually takes most files and you can crop or add lines to alleviate the 720×480 vs 720×486 issue easily.
also be careful about what field order you bring it in at. do a frame by frame test with a project at 59.94fps and see if there is any jitter. if there is, then drop the picture a single pixel to reverse the field order, and all should be well.

i use clad dvd (google clad dvd, it’s free) to rip the files to m2v mpeg 2 streams.
Then I use procoder to transcode to quicktime.
procoder is a bit costly, so if you need free transcoding software, virtual dub works too. (google virtual dub) you’ll get .avi’s which you need to transcode again with premiere to quicktimes. I suggest doing all transcoding with uncompressed avi & quicktime settings. They’re big, but the quality stays.
import quicktimes into avid.

there might be quicker tools out there. i don’t do this unless I absolutely have to. it takes quite a while.
