I'd like to rip them and archive them without loosing any quality but be playable using an "average office PC or Mac."

The video is interlaced, 720x480, 29.97 fps or 59.94 fields per second.

Because MPC-HC apparently kicks its deinterlacer or bobber in, and you see it on the monitor as progressive video without the combing artefacts.

I am not familiar with Handbrake, but I suspect that Handbrake encodes the video as interlaced, and for some reason the player does not recognize it as interlaced and plays it without deinterlacing - hence you see the combes on the PC monitor.
Try to enable a deinterlacer in Handbrake, or force the deinterlacer (or bobber) in MPC-HC so the video gets deinterlaced during playback.
