VOB Suggestion
Funny story… My marketing department lost original footage from a standard def. DVD we sell and show. They now was me to put the movie (with 5.1 sound, multiply languages and subtitle tracks) on a file server to play.
I because Vegas does not support VOB’s, I used an open source program to convert the VOB to MP4 with 5.1 sound twice; Once for English, once for French.
How would you extract all the info from the VOB file?

‘I because Vegas does not support VOB’s’
There is no need to convert the VOB to MP4.
Just place the DVD in the DVD player of your PC, open Vegas and select FILE-IMPORT-DVD Camcorder disk. If the disk is not copy-protected, it will be imported into Vegas

What I have done in the past is copy the VOB file (VTS_01_1.vob)from the DVD to a file folder on my computer.
Open Sony Vegas (I’m using 7) and in the explore tab locate the folder I just copied the .cob file to.
Then click on the Views button in the tool bar just below the envelope tool button and make sure the all files box is checked.
When it is the .vob file will show up and just drag it to the video track and edit.

When I try to import the VOB into Vegas two very bad things happen.
First it takes almost 15-25 minutes to import the vob file into Vegas. Then asfter waiting all that time, when I drag the vob into the time line (w/ 5.1 if that makes a difference) the program crashes everytime!!!
I figured this happen because Vegas dose not support VOB files.
Any advise?

“Any advise?”
Yes, try the method Theo suggested earlier in this thread.
It’s always worked for me. -

From all you told us, I suspect that your DVD is copy-protected…

no, no 🙂
The footage is our own. It’s just a 17 minute documentary on how our facility was built. Since we lost the original footage, I have been playing the VOB on a solid state media player from Technovision. But now that we are moving forward to a Doremi file server to play all the documentary we have, I need to create a DCP for everything we have.
I will continue to work on this… thank you to everyone for your assistance.

Download a program called “FormatFactory” which is free from Formatoz. Use the DVD tp Video Option…rip to AVI with output settings:
Mpeg4(Xvid) and profile: HighQuality and Size.Mpeg4 Xvid files can then be smoothly and easily edited in Vegas
(maybe on XP, you may need to install the K-Lite mega pack to ensure Xvid files can be opened)Jill
