I've experimented with deinterlacing based on some suggestions online but it hasn't fixed it. Is it even something that's fixable? Or is it because it was an old camera recording on an old dvd recorder?

Thanks
Do you see the jaggies when you play your DVD via a standalone HW player + TV?
If the DVD video is interlaced and you watch it via PC+monitor without deinterlacing you will always see such jaggies or combes, even more so when you downscale the picture for viewing.

Can you upload a few seconds sample of the .vob file? Perhaps the problem is already on the DVD (poor transfer).
For archiving I would recommend to make 1:1 copies of the original DVD as Ghitulescu wrote. If you process the source "somehow" you may introduce irreversible new artefacts.
