I'm still using PD14

Recently its saying every clip I want to edit is broken. Even though I have been working from these sources previously.

I have attached the error message.

I've converted files from VOB to AVI and MP4 and still no joy. Can anyone help?

Thanks

The first thing I'd try would be to delete all the temporary files that PD has created.

Use File | New Project, then go to Preferences | General | Manually Delete and choose Select All, then Delete Selected Files and click on Close, then click OK.

Open up your project again and see if you can import the clip successfully.

I just tried what is shown in the error message. Had no problem importing the .vob file from one of my homemade DVD. Tried to import one originally from a commercial disc and see the same error message as the attached. The drm did not get completely removed. Since my XP computer died a few years ago, never got back to installing that type of software as I have moved on to viewing online.
