I tried with media import but VOB doesnt show,forcing to all files do the job but the VOB files are splited and there's a silence betwen them , Is it the right way?

Also tried with camcoder disc but an error has ocurred and puff right to my desktop.

Any help would be appreciated.

I recently completed such a project. There are a couple ways that you could go about this. I will highlight two.

You can copy the *.vob directly from the disc onto the hard drive and then rename it to a *.mpg file. Vegas will see this and you can then drop it into the time line.

By going to File... Import... DVD Camcorder Disc... you can do the same thing. You mentioned that you had tried this,so I am not sure what is wrong.

Is the DVD copy protected?

Thanks for the reply Chad.

Very smart renaming the files , have to try it out.

The DVD is a home made one from a music show on tv so I don't think is copyprotected,reading the manual said the DVD has to be finalized to be able to import it and I'm not sure of it.

Anyway I can import it from import / media forcing to vew any type file, takes a lot of time , but the problem is that there are 3 VOB files and when I drag them to the timeline they don't match very well at the split points and there's a second of silence I couldnt fix by joint them , there's always a silence on a jump in the program.

Is got to be a way to import the progam "as it is" in the DVD.. or not?

Any tip wold be helpfull,I'm a beguinner on this video thing,I use Acid Pro a lot for my music tunes and know it well but Vegas is a whole new world.
Thanks in advance.

Even when renaming vob files to mpg, you might run into another problem--if your desired video is contained on two contiguous vob files, there will be a glitch between the two of them.

I have found I can make a transparent transition by using a freeware utility called "FileMerger" that joins the two mpg files together.

EDIT: Oops. Looks like you've already discovered this issue. Try FileMerger.
