Sony Vegas 8.0, trouble viewing video clip

[ir0n_ma1den]

I'm not too familiar with editing in Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 so I'm having trouble viewing a 12 minute video clip within the program.

When it plays the video is very choppy and ends in about 10 seconds while the audio starts and ends a little later.

The video file is contained on a Mini DVD-RW disc and is contained within a VIDEO_TS folder.

Inside that folder there are multiple files (3x MPEG-2 files, 3x BUP files, and 3x IFO files).

If pictures will be more useful I can give them,

thanks

Copy the VIDEO_TS folder from the mini dvd-rw disc to the hard drive before opening in Vegas.

I did that and the same thing happens, the whole clip (Audio and Video) go by very quickly and are choppy

Does it play choppy in say Powerdvd ?

Are they MPEG2 in VOB? or are they MPEG-PS? if the former, try vob2mpg then import into vegas

[ir0n_ma1den]

the MPEG2 files are in VOB, ill try vob2mpg

it plays fine in windows media player, winamp, etc

[ir0n_ma1den]

Alright I converted it with vob2mpg and it gives me a nice, neat MPEG file but when I put it into Vegas I get the same thing...

In the timeline (track view) on Vegas, when I zoom in I see the correct frames but it still does not play properly.

I also get "Media Offline" in the timeline occasionally

there appears to be something wrong with your computer or vegas install. dvd spec mpeg-2 should play fine.

try the task manager, crt/alt/del - click on processes and click twice on cpu to bring up what is hogging your cpu while trying to play the video in vegas.

Got it to work,

In vob2mpg all I had to do was change it to VOBSET mode

thanks everyone you helped out a TON!
