If you're lucky the video portions will be some black frames at the beginning or end or perhaps some black during a fade and nothing bad happens.

However, there are a lot of cases where a DVD might drop to video briefly during some live action and in such cases you'll get some brief interlacing. For example, the Criterion DVDs drop to video around chapter points often, and they'll give you a couple of very noticeable interlaced frames.

To be safe, it's not a good idea to use Forced Film unless the D2V shows it to be 100% Film.
