David,
Yes, that "should" provide the best quality because the quality of the
DV-AVI video will be better than the MPEG-2 video on the DVD.
However, it will also depend on the quality of the s-video output on
your graphics card. My PC's s-video out doesn't seem to be quite as
good as the s-video out from my DVD player.
