How should I import footage from a DVD recorder into Final Cut Pro X?

I record myself playing old video games using a DVD recorder. The footage is finalised to disk and I end up with a normal DVD structure (Video TS folder with multiple titles).

What format should I convert this into to edit in Final Cut Pro X and what software do I need to do the conversion? I'm looking for quality preservation (although I appreciate that the source is only upscaled standard definition to start with).

The end result will be videoes to be shown on the web (probably H.264).

Thanks in advance,

Get the free program Mpeg Streamclip.

Open the DVD in that program. Export to Quicktime: choose any flavour of Prores (I would advise Prores LT). And then you get files you can use in FCPX.

Thanks for the advice. That's worked a treat.
