Does your camera's manual say anything about 'finalising' the mini DVD before inserting it into your computer?

Yup. I did finalize the DVD.

Can you simply copy the contents of the DVD onto your hard disk using Windows? If so, try importing from there with VS?

Or if you can copy them to the hard disk but VS import still does not work, try changing the extensions of the relevant files from .vob to .mpg.
