Not the cheapest method but not unreasonable either.
I use the Pyro Link to capture the DVDs right in Premiere Elements or WinDV.
I can watch the DVD on a TV while I capture and can use the remote to fast forward or reverse.
The Pyro Link is not recommended anymore due to some real problems with the device and customer support.
But the lower end Canopus digital converters are not much more expensive and much more reliable.
Might be more than you want to spend but it is a good option for what you are trying to accomplish.
