Sony Vegas 8 VOB not working

[Illusionist]

When I upload VOB files to Nero, they do not work properly, for example a movie is 1 hour long, program will upload a minute of the clip, or seems squashed on the timeline. Or sometimes it will upload the entire clip, but compressed to a few minutes on the timeline. Hope I make sense.

Is VOB files incompatible with Nero Vegas 8 ?

Would appreciate any help, from someone that has used Vegas 8 to edit VOB files.
Thanks

You can try use vob2mpg and then import the mpg in vegas 8.

Vegas 8 as mpegs but if audio is ac3 it will not show

Mpg2Cut2 to demux vob into separate video / audio streams

Besweet to convert ac3 audio to mpa / mp2

Properly extract video from disc:

Convert to intermediary.
I suggest HuffYUV, using VirtualDub.
Audio to PCM/WAV, video is HuffYUV.

Import into the NLE (Vegas).

Easy.

MPEG files play like crap in NLE timeline previews. Best to use intermediary, no quality loss from it.
