Thanks for the heads up,
I did reply to Tom via a PM, and duely thanked him for his help which on both occasion's was in depth and well explained. The second question was different to the first, i thought, as my initial question was how to change the VRO so PD recognised it, the second was which format was it best to convert to i.e. mpeg, divx, etc for best quality for play back on a DVD player. Maybe i didn't explain myself clearly and appolagise for any offence caused.
I have found out this is a problem specific to Panasonic DVD-RAM discs that i use in the camera, but have found a way of converting it for PD with maximum quality. From now on though i will be using DVD -RW as these write the file as a .VOB file which i believe (correct me if im wrong) can be imported into PD no problem. Once again i appolagise if i should have posted my reply in the forum for all to see, and therefore helped them as well as myself.
If anyone has the same problem as myself with .VRO conversion problems feel free to contact me and i will endevour to pass on my limited knowledge on the matter........i lost sleep so you don't have too!!!!
