Earlier today I was searching .. trying to find a solution to my problem ...
When using the built-in IMPORT FROM DVD feature .. Vegas splits the files into equal segments (except for the last segment) and the start of each new segment has the full video, but is missing a fraction of a second of the audio at the begining.
This, if I remember correctly, is because the feature was designed to work on those small DVD's from Sony camcorders, not a 'normal' size DVD with a bigger/longer video.
My workaround has been either ... leave the audio space (not good .. very obvious) or ... overlap the video and (sony won't let me spell this next word correctly) but the audio together (less obvious, but still less than ideal)
I was looking for the past thread where someone suggested some program that would link the segments together and restore the missing audio. I did not find that but instead found a much better solution. Unfortunatly I did not bookmark that thread, nor do I remember who posted the solution ... but I thought I'd repeat it here for those of use who still have that problem.
I did copy the body of the text ...
Vegas allows you to open up a DVD .IFO file. This imports the entire .VOB chain for both video and audio tracks.
Again "open" the .IFO file, do not try to "import" it. Vegas does not recognize the .IFO file as a media file so you need to type "*.IFO" first so that it can find it. Otherwise it will not show in the "open file" window.
This is, of course, for DVDs that are home made, not commercially (copy protected) DVDs.
