It doesn't always work to rename a VOB to mpg, but it is always worth a try. The explanation I've been given is that whether or not a rename will work depends on the DVD's menu structure - apparently menu/chapter linkages can sometimes become embedded in a VOB and when those files are only renamed, the resulting mpg contains "dirty" stuff which can ruin frames and sometimes even crash a computer.
Premiere Pro now knows about all those things and when it reads a VOB file it knows the non-video data to discard, thus extracting a clean mpg from the VOB.

Or mpg. I have done it and it works fine. joe salerno On 12/19/2010 5:08 PM, Doctor Xombie wrote: > > > I'm using CS3 but the problem is even before I get it into Premiere. > > I converted the VOBs using VOB2MPG. > > I'd rather not re-capture the movie like some of you have suggested as > I'd like to keep the best quality... and the best quality is right > there already on the DVD. > > I've tried up-converting to 720 AVC just to see, but it still loses > audio sync. > > --- In [email protected] > <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com>, Uwe Soltau > <lenseye....@...> > wrote: > > > > It is always good to mention which version of Premiere you are using. > > From CS4 ( with the the latest update) onwards you can use VOB files. > > > > Did you convert the VOB files to MPEG or simply rename them? > > Uwe > > > > > > OK I'm trying to import my DVD so I can edit it in Premier Pro. > > > > > > I converted the VOBs to MPEG.
