Import off of DVD?

[Edward Troxel]

Depends.

If the DVD is encoded with PCM audio then you can simply drag the VOB file to the Vegas timeline and it will read it.

If the audio is AC3, you’ll get video but no audio so you’d have to use another program to convert the audio into something Vegas can read (i.e. WAV).

However, MPEG is NOT a good editing format so you may want to convert it back to DV-AVI. One way to do that is via DVD Ripping software. Another way is to simply capture as normal playing the DVD in a DVD player converting it to firewire using the pass-thru on your camera, for example.

If you do a search here, you’ll find this topic has been discussed MANY times.
