So long as there are no timecode breaks in the VOB file(s), PPro can work with it. Otherwise you can use DVD Decypter to re-write the VOB file with contiguous timecode and that will work. Never use DVDecryter to rip Copyrighted DVDs though.

Reinstalled After Effects from the disc and the updates — now Premier can’t read VOB files. Now I’ll reinstall the whole Creative Suite and the upgrades – see if that helps. Better – I need those VOB files for a project I am working on now.

the program simply will not import mxf files – claims they are unsupported.

Youtube? Pond5 had better prices.

What do you want to do with the file?
If you just want the highest possible resolution quicktime, then use the Animation codec. If you want to play it back in real time – then you’ll have to compress it (bandwidth and size)- how much depends on where you want to play it (your computer, the internet. I find that the H.264 codec is better than quicktime (using the built in sorenson codec.) H.264 has more presets too (PC) — and it’s completely customizable. -
Make sure the FCP sequence settings frame rate matches your source footage frame rate.
Make sure the frame rate of the AE Comp and the AE Export are identical to your FCP sequence settings. -
if all you are doing is editing – then there is no plus of one over the other – use the one you know and like. If you have to everything from editing to composting to mixing to encoding and making DVDs – I think CS4 is currently a better set of well integrated tools.

Doesn’t say what the compressor (codec) is.
I would open it in Quicktime Pro and then re-export it using the Animation Codec and then try to import that into PPro. -
CS4 does work better in Vista.
HDV on a Dual core works fine so I imagine a quad is all that much better.CS3 actually handled HDV better then CS4 in my opinion. I think Adobe changed codecs.
I have come to like P2 DVCProHD quite a bit more though – just an upgrade to SATA drives was all that needed.
