Similar to other people's methods, I like to encode the entire DVD as a single lossless file. If it's a long term project (meaning I have a 30-70 chance of actually making the video), I plan it out in my head for months (I have some videos entirely planned out that I started five years ago <_<). If I've seen the source before, I generally have an idea which scenes I want where, so after dropping those, the rest of the video becomes a connect-the-dots style of storytelling.
If I haven't seen the source, I might watch it (especially if I want it to relate to the original story in some way) or if I'm short on time, I scrub through the disc in Vegas and pull out scenes that look like they might fit. I'm more likely to edit in normal chronological order if I haven't seen my footage beforehand, because I don't know what scenes to grab until I'm specifically looking for something (though I might mark a clip I find I really want to use).
