I also tried running AnyDVD in the background, it removed copy protection and I still ran into the same problems. I’m pretty certain this is just a problem with Vegas not importing some files correctly. Although I don’t know why it would specifically not work with DVD Shrink mpegs while working just fine with AoA mpeg files…

I was just testing with a few DVDs and yeah they are commercial movies that I own. I tried ripping and importing a DVD I made myself and that seemed to work. I still don’t understand why I would successfully be able to rip any DVD with DVD Shrink and watch the mpeg files but then not be able to import them. Does the copy protection get saved into the video files and interfere with Vegas some how? Also, I tried AoA dvd ripper and ripped everything into AVI format and imported it all into Vegas just fine…

EDIT: I just tried AoA dvd ripper again and ripped into mpeg format, it imports into Vegas just fine, so it seems only mpegs from DVD Shrink fail to import. DVD Shrink is free though, and I like how it works better.

I didn’t even know about that feature, but I just tried it and got the same result. It successfully rips the entire DVD and then fails to import the mpg clips and crashes with the same error messages as before.
