DVD Capture
I’m new to Vegas…got 6.0 a few weeks ago…Sony sent me the 7.0 upgrade which I installed today. I can’t get the DVD camcorder imprt function to work. From what I understand it ought to import a VOB from any DVD…not just a a DVD from a Sony camcorder, right?
I’m trying to import a DVD that I made on a stand-alone JVC VHS/DVD burner. I copied the vob to the HD. Tried renaming it *.mov and leaving it as a vob. If I navigate to the folder with the file…nothing shows up in the explorer window. If I drag the file to the time line…it looks like a real quick (1/2 a second) process takes place….but then nothing shows up on the timeline.
Any idea what I’m dong wrong?

Have you tried the following menu File -> Import -> DVD Camcorder Disc?

Yes…that’s the import routine that I tried. When I navigate to the disc (or to the folder if I move the HD), no file shows up in the menu. Same result if the file is left as a VOB or renamed as a .mov.
Maybe in the morning I’ll try a disc recorded on a different burner…see if i get a different result…

Sounds like something’s wrong with your MPEG importer. In the media project media window, right-click in the white space and go to View then put a check next to “all files”. Now you can see all files, importable or not. Then click on the .vob file once and see if it gives you any information about the video (ie framerate, length, audio info, etc.). If not, it is not reading the vob. Either you pulled the wrong vob off the DVD or or something’s wrong with Vegas’ mpeg decoder.
