I have an old wedding DVD that I want to convert to an MP4 so I can bring it into PowerDirector to edit. I researched online and decided to use VLC Media Player to convert the DVD to an MP4. I converting from the DVD disc and brought the MP4 file into PowerDirector. But the converted file didn't come out right. People in the video look fat (wider), the sound is not synced, and portions of the video look like they are being played "fast forward". Where did I go wrong? Thanks.

PD21 is capable of ripping that DVD. See his help: https://help.cyberlink.com/stat/help/powerdirector/21/win/enu/05_03_08_optical_device.html?q=capture+dvd . Set your project to the correct aspect ratio like 4:3 if that is correct. You may want to fatten those individuals by using 16:9 if you want by a right mouse click on the clip to set the tv format/set aspect ratio.
