DVD to Vegas Pro
I have a DVD copy of a program I did years ago that was mastered on Betacam SP. I want to transfer the DVD (played on the DVD drive) on to the timeline in Vegas Pro. The program is 75 minutes long. I have tried all sorts of file dragging only to get a few sections into Vegas, all out of sync. The files from the DVD drive come up as: Video TS and Audio TS. Must I set up a DVD player and run it through Black Magic Media Express and play the DVD for 75 minutes to get into Vegas?
Thanks
Mims

I did this once, and I don’t think I had any problem with the VTS and ATS files. I forget how I extracted the DVD onto Vegas, but I’m pretty sure it was straightforward.

There are a variety of ways to work around this but now, thanks to Gary James on the Sony Vegas forum, there’s a MUCH better and easier way.
I’ll quote his post verbatim.Vegas allows you to open up a DVD .IFO file. This imports the entire .VOB chain for both video and audio tracks.
Click File / Open, then navigate to your VIDEO_TS sub directory and enter *.IFO in the File name input field. For a regular DVD you will see a VIDEO_TS.IFO, and a VTS_01_0.IFO. Select the VTS_01_0.IFO file and click on Open. Don’t try this on a DVD disk because Vegas will try to build an .sfk file containing audio peaks in the VIDEO_TS directory.

I tried opening the VTS_01_0.IFO and I get and error message that says it an unknown issue occured. Any idea why this doesn’t work?
