You can use the images directly off of the discs: the quality cannot get higher than that. You can also use the Juicer to pre-render files into a format that is convenient for you - but that depends on your project settings. For example, if you are producing DVD-Video discs in the US, you'd want to change the Canvas size to 720x480. Compression can also be important: I'd continue using QuickTime with PNG, Animation or PhotoJPEG encoding (I acutally usually am satisfied with DV/DVCPRO NTSC encoding, but you might not). No matter what, it is going to take SOME amount of time to get the files from the source discs to your hard drive - higher quality MAY take slightly longer, but the fastest way will be to just copy the files directly off of the discs. The only downside to that route is that then FCP will need to covert the files on the fly into your project's format and that might not be the most efficient route.

There are 3 folders with movies on each Jumpback DVD. Only the one called "Source" has the high quality files. The other 2 - "Juicer" and "Juicer3" have 320x256 compressed files that I assume are used by Juicer to play previews. If you pulled those files into FCP they would look pretty bad.
