    Hey, i have recently purchased a Sony DVD602E Mini DVD camera. It works great and i can pop the mini dvd right into my dvd-rom drive and copy al lthe files to my hard drive for editing, however the editing program i am used to (adobe premiere) does not seem to support .vob files, i have installed countless codecs and now i can import the files if i rename them to .mpeg however the audi (AC3 Dolby) gets compressed to 16 bit stereo and goes out of sync!!!

    Can anyone help me, im not sure if this belongs in this forum or dvd-r discussion :S, just want to know if anyone here edits the footage off their mini DVD camera with Premiere, or any other program.

    Thanks

    Hey thanks!

    This method won't lose any quality either?

    Cheers

    Well, with any conversion from one lossy type of compression to another you will loose quality... The question that remains is if it is noticeable.
    But even if you import MPEG in Premiere, it will be recompressed after editing.
