All you need are the VOB files. I
would have thought that PE 10 will accept them. If not
change the file extension to .mpg, that normally works .
Only use the big VOB files.

The maximum size for a VOB is one gigabyte (binary, not decimal).
If you have exactly the same number of VOB files as there are converted films,
AND they're all different sizes, then it's likely the conversion shop put one
film per VOB. In that case, newer versions of AP can import each VOB and
convert the video and audio for each film.
If all but one VOB are the same size with one smaller than the rest, then the
conversion shop's software put all the films end to end, creating each VOB to
maximum size before continuing to the next, using the menu and chapter
functions of DVD to go to the start points of each film.
If the disc has more VOB's than films, but more than one VOB is smaller than
the maximum size, then the conversion shop processed each film separately and
one or more films required two or more VOB files.
In either the second or third case, you'll find the job to be easier using a
DVD 'ripper' program to extract the audio and video for each film into a single
MPEG-2 file. The ripper software handles locating and joining the separated
pieces of each video, and it multiplexes the MP2 video and the audio into a
MPEG-2 file.
MPEG-2 files can be as large as your computer's file system supports. (It's
only an issue of you're still using an OS that uses old systems like HFS
Standard, FAT16 or FAT32*.) DVD technology and the VOB format have been frozen
in their original specifications, circa 1995~1996, thus their limitations.
Go to videohelp.com/dvd for all the nitty-gritty technical details.
*These systems have a maximum file size of 2 gigabytes though FAT32 goes up to
4 gigabytes per file with Windows XP.
