Re: Import V.O.B problem,

A VOB file is compressed to MPEG-2. You must convert it to something like Quicktime before working with it in AE. It's not high-quality -- it's designed to be played on a DVD player right out of the camera, so its quality is sacrificed for playability. It's not designed to be further processed in post-production. Converting it won't increase its quality, though -- it will just make it possible to use the clip in AE.

Don't use AE as an editor. It's very slow, and your project will suffer, even if you have infinite time to do this. Premere might accept VOBs, I don't know. You might have to convert the file for premiere anyway.

But at any rate, camcorders that record directly to DVD are low-grade consumer. Make some money, buy something in the DV, HDV or P2 formats (for example), then dump the other camcorder.
