Thanks David for taking time to give me a reply.

I could not import the subject VOB files to PPro CS5 yet. Adobe tech in India told me that the VOB compressing format used are not supported by them and advised me that they could not be of any more help hence. They just suggested me to find compressing method out there somewhere which was used for the VOB file (which I have no idea at all), and the person at Adobe sounded to me as if saying “get lost…”

But I have to import these vob files and edit them so that I may come up with a decent presentation for my kids who are now all grown up and moved out. The video was taken using Sony Video cam ccd_trv21 and was converted to VOB files 20 some years ago.

I used the Decrypt program you suggested and tried to import them to PPro CS5 without any success. I do have Nero Smart Start but did not find any place in that program to save it as DV.avi format yet. What Nero program or which version of Nero program did you use? There seemed to me too many Nero programs out there.

Any further advice would greatly be appreciated if any one who went through the furstration I have gone through now leaves any suggestion for me to try.

A short VOB file if any one want to look at is at the following link.

Would you kindly explain how I could decrypt “with continuous timecode”? I am new in this game and do not know how to…

I got the Decrypter and tried and I ended up the same files on my computer that’s all.

My problem is when I import vob files from dvd using my PPro CS5, only a 8 seconds portion of first part of each vob files are imported. And I gets “file has an unsupported compression” when it trid to import video_TS file..

I tried to rename te vob to mpeg and tried to import . Then the entire video was imported but the audio only up to the 8 seconds from the beginning.

I upgraded to cs5 from cs3 simply because I read that cs5 can imports vob files. But actually it does not do that job well for it imports only the first segments (chapter) of the video series and can not import the rest.

Any tips would be reately appreciated. The vob files are created from sony 8 tapes .
