I have a DVD of an old music concert (some children music) that was made in the 90s. My kids want to listen to the music while in the car. So I ripped the DVD to my hard drive. There is the Video_TS folder. I opened it up and found several different types of files. I want to import the files that contain the video and audio to Vegas: these files are the largest in size, and all end with the suffix . VOB.

I dragged them all to the Vegas timeline. The following error message popped up, and Vegas shut down.

What's going on? A few years back I was able to import a standard movie DVD, much like this one, to the timeline, then delete the video, and rendered the audio out to mp3, and put those mp3 files on a CD and played in my car. I forgot the exact steps that I took.

Thanks,

use import media function>dvd.....

wont work if copyrighted.

I believe Leslie means Copyprotected.

O|O
\--/

thanks don,

mind working faster than fingers and forgetting just as quickly...

Aarghh! Same thing happened.

"An error occurred during the current operation. An Exception has occurred"

I then clicked on "Details", and the same gibberish explanation is displayed, which I listed in my post above.
What does it mean, "an exception"? Is that even English? Geez.

Follow Leslie's suggestion.
File - Import - DVD Camcorder Disc.
Be patient while the VOBs are converted to MPEGs.

Hi Norris,
Seems to be a bug in Vegas 8c, not sure if there's a fix.
Although it is a common crash in XP sp2 see this
0xC0000005 Access Violation Error (http://www.updatexp.com/0xC0000005.html)
and vegas see this
www.jetdv.com :: View topic - I've a problem with 'mcdddec.dll' (http://www.jetdv.com/vegas/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15910&sid=a6662f8da713a4bf180fbdffb233674f)

Could also be bad ram in your computer and the huge vob file you are loading is trying to access it.
How much ram have you got in your machine.

Did you know there is a Vegas 8.1 It might be a free update to 8.0c, worth a try.

Regards & Good Luck
