You will need something else to import from DVD.

You could try changing the vob to mpg, but this often does not work.

I recommend you try a purpose-made ripper converter. MSP has one, but is expensive. I 've used 1 click, which is a DVD copier/ripper but I've heard good things about http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=VOB2MPG (not tried it, though)

WS2 will not rip DVDs, even though it will allow individual VOBs to be converted to MPG.

Edit: of course, these will not overcome copy protection.

Thanks for that , all I trying to do is edit a video of touch footy games from kids school into chapters for each game, instead of it just how i video game after game, i just want to put 1 game into 1 chapter then another game into another chapter & so on..

Hmmm! The problem with chapters is that, if you have, say, 10 games on your original video and you add 10 chapter points at the start of each, and you click on e.g., game 3, it will play games 3 to 10 non stop. If you want it to play each game individually and then return to the menu, you would be better splitting the video into titles. If you have a video editor, this is easy. If not, it can be done in WS2 by bringing in the video into your video library and put it in your timeline at the bottom. Select the start and stop points for game 1 and save. Bring the file in again and do the same for game 2 and so on for each game. Then, when making your menu, you have a button for each of your 10 (or whatever) titles, with return to the same menu at the bottom of each of your playlists.
