I would agree with MD that the feature is buggy and has been since VS9. I originally had a sony DVDcam and in VS8 I could load a finalised disc in the computer, have VS8 detect it and all the individual MPEGs, select all and import perfectly in three minutes flat by actual test. It was perfect for my needs.
Ulead then re-designed that module for VS9 and I think the module itself came from MovieFactory. They did this because the VS8 module did not give some users the flexibility they wanted so in the course of re-designing they ended up with a slightly buggy product. A patch came out for VS9 that improved the situation but didn't really handle it and it seems the problem continues in 10.
I ended up giving up on the whole DVDcam disaster and got a DV cam and haven't looked back since.
So I guess this could be considered a technological step back but on the bright side it is a step forward in equal rights for all to have a buggy import module! :lol:

does anyone know if we can add copy protection to our videos with VS10+?
No! You can't do this at home. CSS does not work or recordable media, and you need an EXPEN$IVE license:
OK, thanks Doug.

Thanks, all. I suppose I'll just work around it and convert my .VOBs to MPEG or DV before doing any editing.

As for the copy debate, I'm in Canada and our piracy laws are very different. However, the problem is, most companies within the country still buckle to the will of US organizations (i.e. RIAA, MPAA) and companies. A prime example is Rogers Cable, the largest TV/Internet/etc. provider in the country. They've been using throttling and other devious methods to hinder or completely disable BitTorrent downloads. The problem with this is that a) there are no clear laws in Canada prohibiting the downloading of copyrghted materials, only sharing/uploading and 2) many people (myself included) use BT for downloading bootleg concerts from artists such as Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews who allow and encourage sharing and trading of their shows and this is 100% legal in ANY country. In the end, this has no real bearing on Ulead, but I figured I'd share it anyway.

Actually, the throttling has nothing to do with copyright issue at all. The main problem is that P2P and gaming are hogging the upstream bandwidth, and this would significantly affect the cable network performance. Many other cable ISPs including Shaw use this type of traffic shaping tools. Rogers is particularly aggressive in this regard.

Unfortunately, throttling is a necessity for some congested cable network to maintain its performance. And Rogers also need to worry about its Rogers Digital Phone service performance.

Sorry for getting so off topic :)
