You can try File | Import | DVD Camcorder Disc.... If that doesn't work, try a tool called Womble. It will convert the VOB to an MPEG2 file without re-encoding so there will be no loss in quality. | | | | |

Andrew, if you've ever imported a DVD using the File-Import-DVD Camcorder Disc option, you'll see and hear what I mean.

Use the "File - Import - DVD Camcorder Disc" option.
It was originally designed for miniDVDs but works equally well for a (non copy protected) full-size DVD.
Follow the prompts when you do this but it's very straight forward.
