Hello,
I've been trying to import video from DVD into VS11 without success. The video is on a DVD-R and it's from a Canon Camcorder. The disk has been finalized, and plays fine in MediaPlayer or PowerDVD.
When trying to import, it gets to about 10% and then I get the infamous "failed to read DVD information" error. I got this error several times when I was in the Edit tab and selecting "import from DVD" from the file menu. I then switched to the Capture tab and selected the import button and it worked... but only once. After restarting and trying it again it no longer works. I also tried a different DVD and it wouldn't import that either.
I have also tried copying the file to the HD and renaming the extention to .mpg - This works, but it only shows about 6 seconds of a 30minute video. I've also tried using DVDDecryptor but this also has strange effects on the video with parts missing and some parts fast forwarding when playing inside VS11.
Any ideas???
VS11 DVD Import trouble

Maybe this post will help.
You might also try VOB 2 MPG (FREE!!!). But, if the VOB is corrupted the extracted MPEG will probably remain corrupted (if it works at all).
Both VideoReDo and Womble have tools that can repair some MPEGs, and both offer free trials.
You may be able to re-code the MPEG with SUPER (also FREE!!!). However, there are two potential issues... You will have a handful of separate VOB files converted to separate MPG files, rather than one continuous MPEG. And, you loose some quality when you re-code an MPEG.
That's starting to sound like the MPEG data structure is corrupted. (I've frequently had trouble with MPEGs.)I have also tried copying the file to the HD and renaming the extention to .mpg - This works, but it only shows about 6 seconds of a 30minute video.

I've tried VOB2MPG and it froze up... the file from second disk converted but I had the same problem with only a small part of the video playing inside VS. I still don't understand why it worked once. The user I'm helping left the room, and I was able to import from the DVD. They came back and I tried it again and was able import a second time. Then after a restart it won't work anymore.
How do the .VOB files become corrupt? Is it the camcorder or the discs are bad? It seems there's not that many good solutions for editing DVD's.... unfortunately the user I'm helping got a DVD cam and THEN decided "HEY, I want to edit video too!"
As far as I know MiniDV cams are the best if you are going to edit video correct?
