Maybe you can record to another machine, and edit from there. First
thing with something irreplaceable is to make a copy. Believe it or
not reducing the info to NTSC and, editing on S-VHS with flying erase
head is better than nothing. Worse case, you can go to a professional
and rent an editing suite. But before you do anything, make a copy and
secure it. Good luck.

I'd transfer straight to non-linear PC/Mac editing. And back those files
up properly. You wouldn't believe the 'fun' I've had mending broken
archives.

I bet you have a resampling problem, mini dv records at 48k and DVDs I think
are 44.1, I think you need to take that audio stream into a program like
soundforge and resample it.

No, the standard DVD sampling rate is 48kHz, CD's use 44.1.

Vegas (and many others) will resample on the fly anyway, but if that was his
problem, I doubt he would describe the result as "muddy", the pitch would be
clearly wrong instead.
