How to open .vob files in Vegas Video for editing

[MixMaker]

Hello:

Newbie in NLE.

I have two DVD's containing music video clips and I wanted to edit them in Vegas 4. I've used DVD Drecrypter to rip each music video to a several vob files.

So my question is: How can I do to convert the vob files into elementary streams to get accepted by Vegas 4?... or particulary, how can I edit this vob files in vegas?

Could somebody point me into the right direction?

Thanks.

It is really fairly easy.

Hmm....I'll just scetch out the rough steps now

1> Use DVD2AVI to create the D2V and audio file.
2> Easiest way to get video in is to use VFAPI (will read d2v file directly)(see other posts here for those tools and instructions)
3> Slightly better and more flexible would be to use AviSynth, and either (you choose) VFAPI, LINK2, or the new MakeAVIS utility included with ffVFW from Milan to wrap the avisynth file and serve to Vegas. See post here for instructions and in Avisynth forum for MakeAVIS.
4> Audio can be done in several ways. With step 1 above just drag separate audio file into the time-line with your video.
5> Or, you could use MPASource from WarpEnterprises to include your audio in the avisynth file and link2 or Vfapi will wrap it also.

Also, if makeAVIS does crash (that's my case), you can try the AVS2AVI Wrapper Codec instead - it has the same functionality.

It's still beta though, but it worked ok for me when I created some of the music videos.

Maybe you won't believe me, but now I'm able to load the .vob file directly without the d2v file... as a matter of fact Vegas doesn't like my d2v file but it likes the audio file decoded by DVD2AVI, so i just loaded the .vob file wich only is video and then loaded the audio file created by DVD2AVI and it worked!

The only thing I did is instaled all the software recommended by DDogg.

Yeah, but your video will/could be all out of order depending on how the DVD was made. BTW, you can't load the D2v in Vegas! :) You have to "wrap" it with VFAPI first into a "fake" avi file.
