Import trouble while importing .VOB files

Hello Y'all
I am fairly new to Adobe Premiere Pro and I am just trying to import some VOB files and have no luck with it. Here is my problem.
I took this footage with a sony handycam if it helps to know.
So I right click then import then select my file then import.
The file seems to import correctly so I try to play it back and almost halfway through playback the audio quits playing but the video continues on.
I have gone into preferences to see if I am doing somthing wrong with the audio hardware and I have reimported the file quite a few times. I have also tried changing the preset and all to no avail.
Do Y'all know what I am doing wrong or is there something that I am not doing (correctly)?
Thanks
Lawrence

Try transcoding your VOB audio to something intraframe and/or uncompressed. You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the audio from your VOB to WAV or AIF, and just replace the audio in your Sequence Timeline. That should get you where you need to go.

Any way to import VOB files?

I want to take an existing DVD created with a standalone burner, and replace the generic Sony menu with a custom menu I create in Encore 5. I alsmo need to change the chapter stops.
I'd like to be able to import the VOB files from the DVD so I don't need to recompress them, but every time I drag a VOB file into Encore, no matter the filename or size, it names the file VTS_01_1.VOB and gives it a duration of 15 seconds.
Is there a way to work with these files? Or a program that will split my VOB files into mv2 and ac3 files so that I can work with them without doing any recompression?

Why does Encore allow me to import VOB files at all if it isn't going to handle them properly?
The reason is in "DVD created with a standalone burner"
Such files are very often NOT according the strict standard... I think it mentions that in the link I posted a bit ago
Also, VOB's on a DVD contain menu and other information... since they are, of course, an output + viewing format, not meant to be edited or reused

How to Import VOB files into Premiere Pro?

In CS4 I could import VOB files from a DVD disc, but very often they wouldn't play right. In CS6 the program just freezes. Can I import and edit vob files in CS6?

I recommend this method:

Problem importing VOB files using Premiere Pro CC

Something must have changed between CS6 & CC as far as importing VOB files from non-DRM DVDs.
When I import the VOB files from a DVD using CS6, the import seems to go fine.
But when I import the VOB files from the same DVD using CC, the video info Frame Size and Aspect Ratio of the last VOB files comes in "wrong" when it should be the same as all of the other files.
It always seems to be the last file and it always seems to be off by the same amount.
I can Interpret Footage back to the same aspect ratio as the rest of the VOB files, but I cannot seem to fix the incorrect framesize.
I am using Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.1(4).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try this instead.

Import VOB file ok, export shaky

I am using Adobe Premiere CS5, works fine.
Now I am trying to reedit old home videos so I imported VOB files from my burned DVDs. 4:3 ratio movies, I expand these so I have full widescreen (16:9) view.
Video and audio seem to be all right.
However when I try to export the new file (to 16:9), horizontal movements are not ok, the persons or objects which move horizontally (quickly) are not ok, the outlines are weird.
So within Adobe Premiere there is no problem, but after exporting the file (AVI), it just doesn't look right on the TV.

VOB files are highly compressed... a DV AVI file is about 13Gig per hour, a VOB of that same hour compressed to fit on a DVD
When you edit a VOB and then export, you are adding a second compression... so your results are not going to be all that great

Importing VOB files into PP CS3

I have looked at numerous forum notes on this problem with PP and I've about come to the conclusion that the easiest thing might be to just buy a copy of Premiere Elements. I understand Premiere Elements will import VOBs and convert them to AVI. Some of the other solutions require several pieces of software, multiple steps, etc sometimes with limited successs.
My most recent attempt (just renaming the VOB file to MPG) resulted in good quality video with no audio. Is the primary reason for loss of audio the AC3 Dolby? Will copying the ad2mcac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory to the PP CS3 root directory really solve that problem? Is that it? That would be nice but somehow I'm a little skeptical. Are there other reasons for losing the audio when you just rename the VOB file to MPG?

Importing VOB Files

I am able to import VOB files, however footage gets removed (i.e. computer's dvd drive plays the entire piece, but is almost cut in half time-wise when imported) and the audio is slightly not in-synch.

How can I import vob files into imovie 09?

how can I import vob files into imovie 09? i have some home movies on dvd that i want to edit.

You might want to look at this one too. Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

Premiere Pro CS4 ERROR import VOB file

Today my Premiere Pro CS4 had Error about importing VOB file but yesterday it's can import smoothly.
please help me fix the problem.
*ERROR Picture*
thanks
ps. i just done updated CS4 to the latest this morning but the ERROR still show.

Harm,
I also wonder if the OP's version might not have reverted to the "trial" version, with the update. Because the VOB is an MPEG, that would not be supported.
If this has happened, you will need to Deactivate, uninstall, run Adobe Clean Script CS4 several times, re-booting between each, and then re-installing and Activating. Then immediately do the full updating. To test whether you now have the "trail" version, just Import an MPEG file, and see if you get a File Format/CODEC error message.
Good luck,
Hunt

CONVERTING and IMPORTING .VOB files into FCP?

Hi.
I made a dvd of an old vhs tape of mine using a Sony consumer vhs-->dvd component.
Haven't had any trouble in the past using MPEG streamclip to convert .vob files and import into fcp (from dvd's NOT made on this particular machine) --but for some reason, this dvd doesn't seem to contain those files.
The icon of the dvd appears as a folder on my desktop with a small red circle on it.
The dvd plays fine on my G5, but the folder appears to be empty when opened.
I'm stumped.
Anyone?

Buy or hire one of these: http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcprofessionalfamily then you can capture the tape directly into FCP as a QuickTime .mov that uses the DV codec.
Don't forget to switch the *Device Control* setting in Log & Capture to *Non-Controllable Device* first.

Importing vob file doesnt have sound

i have the mpeg 2 converter and imported one vob file without a problem but imported a second and it went into quicktime fine but had no sound. why is that

I've the same problem with my Sony N1-digital camera, quicktime can't convert it for iMovie (no sound).As QT Kirk indicated above, QT and associated QT-based applications (like iMovie) do not preserve audio during conversion. Basically, QT is based on frame-to-frame temporally synchronized technology while your MPEG-2 VX files are based on spatial sychronization by interspersing blocks of audio data with blocks video data in a single date stream. If you have the QT MPEG-2 component installed ($19.99 component required to view MPEG-2 video data), then use MPEG Streamclip (free) as recommended by Kirk. This file can convert your file to either an MPEG-2/MP2 file which is compatible with QT (with MPEG-2 component installed) or convert it to DV a video/audio file which is compatible with iMovie for editing. If no editing is required other utilities like iSquint or FFmpegX (both free) can also convert your files to QT compatible formats.
I made a mistake to buy quicktime professional.You should actually read the ads and specifications of a product before purchase. QT Pro merely unlocks editing, conversion, and savings options not available to the basic QT Player. It does not add additional codecs like WMV, DivX, MPEG-2, etc. which are available as add-on components from various vendors.

Import vob file to imovie no tone

I managed to import a .vob file from a disk to imovie, with the import/file function in imovie. But there is no tone with the film. When I check the vob file with MPEGstremclip of Quicktime , there is a tone.
Any help how to import the vob file with tone?

Use MPEG Streamclip for this, and you will have sound.
See detailed instructions at this link.

MAC CS5 - importing .VOB files (HELP!)

I have a NON-copy protected TS_VIDEO folder. I can play the video fine with DVD Player.
I created a PP project...imported the VOB files and in the PROJECT preview window the video seems fragmented...jumps around the video...video clip are there but the entire video in the VOB isn't previewing.
I brought it into the SOURCE window...same fragmentation...I dragged it to the TIMELINE...same fragmentation.
What am I doing wrong? Is is something to do with the SEQUENCE created...DV - NTSC 48mHz?
Wouldn't you know this would happen the day before a project is due.
I have rebooted the MAC, I have no other programs running...I have restarted PP...I have oodles of RAM.
Thanks, --bill

How to import .vob files into Encore CS5?

I know Encore CS4 and 5 support the import of .VOB files but how is this achieved exactly? I've got a DVD that is not copy protected and I've tried Import as Asset and dragging the .VOB files to the project but neither works. What's the procedure please?

You do not.
You can Import 100% DVD-compliant VOB's into PrPro, as of CS4.2. That is what you will want to do.
The alternative method is to rip the MPEG-2 files from those VOB with other software, and then Import those into Encore.
A VOB is what Encore produces, not what it uses.
This ARTICLE will give you some background.
Good luck,

Importing vob files into dvd studio pro 4

hi
any help please ?
i have a project ,where i have a dvd already made and i now need to ad extra features to it,
with the original dvd i have only the video ts folder to go with.
i cant inport the vob files ,i changed the extensions to mpeg,mpg,mv2
all were not able to be imported,tried idvd no luck.
seeing that the vob files are mpeg2 i would expect that dont need to be converted ,but is it something to do with the audio files needing to be separated?
cheers
i find this forum wonderfully useful

The files do need to be demuxed/reconverted into a usable format.
There's a free program people tout all the time when people ask this question: MPEG Streamclip.
I use Cinematize as I feel it has more 'finessing' options: http://www.miraizon.com/products/products.html
