.VOB files
I have a minidv camcorder. When I record my video, I have to use a DVD recorder to record it to disc first. This is because I can’t get a firewire card to work with my pc. The resulting files are in a format called .vob Vegas 9 pro won’t recognize this format although Nero Vision 4 does. Is there a plugin or something I could get for vegas that will let me read these .vob files? Could I simply rename them something else?
Thanks,

First of all, why can’t you get a firewire card to work with your PC?
It’s as basic a card as they come so I’m surprised to hear that.For DVD importing, File – Import – DVD Camcorder Disc has always worked for me, even with full-size DVDs.
Follow the prompts after you start the process and be patient while the footage is converted. -
Thanks Mike. I had (notice the past tense) a grossly underpowered computer and I think that was the problem with the firewire. I was using the explorer to choose a file in Vegas that was that problem solved! File -> Import worked just fine. I am using an Acer A1 Netbook right now until I can get a better computer. I think one with at least a dual core might work with either 6 or 8 GB of memory. What brand and configuration do you think might work? I can’t afford something like Work station right now.

Paul, I’m glad to hear that it worked.
As far as a new computer, I’d start a new thread and ask for recommendations from other users.
My current machine is a quad core that I bought shortly after they first came out (i.e. expensive) and I’m still quite happy with it so I haven’t bothered staying on top of what’s a good buy these days.
