#ROXIO MEDIA IMPORT GREY MISSING SOFTWARE#
The DV and Uncompressed transfers would also help you with videos that were recorded in the LP and SLP/EP modes, as on VHS, even in PAL regions, those modes will have already added analog compression to the video signal. Using Roxio MyDVD 9 Studio Premier, selected Video, then selected Media Import, click Video button, device selected was Sony DV Device, the software display showed Sony DV Device, Quality was AVI DV Format or MPEG-2 Format, Status : Ready To Capture, Save To : My Videos but Capture Entire Tape and Capture Now were both greyed out. So while they would take up more space, you would be able to edit or even make DVD's and MP4/H.264 (for your iPhone) copies from higher quality sources, or even any future format would benefit from the higher quality transfers. Compared to the stick's final output of around 2GB per hour on hard disk, DV uses 13GB per hour, and an uncompressed is about 96GB per hour.
Your best option would be, if your not going to DVD (and even if you were getting DVD done I would recommend this over the stick), to get your videos transferred in DV (25Mbps) or uncompressed AVI/MOV. So you are importing as a heavily compressed file, and then adding more compression on top of that.

But apparently, if you are not going to DVD, then it recompresses and stores the video as a MP4 on the hard drive. I just looked up reviews on the Roxio and I would not even touch it, since in it's Standard mode it is only capturing MPEG-2 at 4 Mbps, and it's High mode is only at 6 Mbps (I'm assuming that the 4 and 6 Mbps are variable-bit-rates, which is used on DVD, but I wasn't able to confirm it). Or even if you are only putting them onto hard drive, I would strongly recommend, in order to future proof your videos, still keep the original tapes, as well as getting them transferred by some other means than those garbage USB sticks, and even in a different format.
Are you planning to edit these video's? I notice that you only mention you are transferring them to computer.
