VOB

Try renaming to Mpeg2 before import.

VOB has never been meant to be edited. It is a final media codec.
Even if you get a succesfull import, you may experience anything from jagged playback, to out of synch audio/video.

You will experience issues on FCP as well. The other issue is that chapter point create splits in files, and putting them back together will often yield to a bad cut. Yes on FCP too. It just depends on how it was encoded.

The only full proof solution is using a A/D box (Canopus ADVC) to import through firewire.

Like I say, just curious. We have an IPTV company in our
building whose Vegas suite imports DVDs willy-nilly and whenever
I’ve quietly tried with Prem and AE it’s looked at me like an
idiot. Normally I use Canopus software for such things.

More consumer oriented software, such as Vegas and Premiere Elements tend to have more support for consumer formats, such as direct to DVD recording.

DVD is also a widely used format on cheap camcorders, so it just makes sense.

Also in that vein, Premiere Elements will support it, and all named will recompress and sometimes can make a mess. If you want to do just cuts editing try something like VideoRedo, which will cut, assemble, and rerecord without recompression.

Cool.
