Ernest, The trick to editing non-standard type of videos is to convert them to a type that Premiere likes. By default, Premiere will not open and play DVDs and VCDs. There are free applications on the internet that will convert these movies to type-2 AVI files. Those are the AVIs that Premiere likes. (Preferably DV codec.) I always use DVD Shrink, but there are dozens of freebies available.
