How long and what is the file size? Is the the largest file you have tried using in PD?

Sounds like you computer is having a hard time with the sheer volume of the file. I normally do not have any problem with vob files... the one shown in the pic is 1.4 gig..... from a commercial video....

May be time to attach your Dxdiag so we can see it.... here part B

When you are asked to provide a DXDIAG you go the following link and do part "B". Your posted specs are NOT what we are looking for as they tell us nothing. The specs on the box of your computer mean nothing. The DXDIAG shows us how your computer is configured as it runs.

Copy DVD (files, VOB) to the HD, then add the. VOB to PD10, the timeline avoid dragging the slider, go jumping or play fast to get to the cutting position.
Adjust the preview for Hight or Normal.
this will not solve, but it should help until they appear better solution

If you are trying to preview in high def.... try it at a lower rez...

That is a common complaint in here... still a computer issue.... not PD...

I never use vobs, EVER.
Before using a vob, I convert to anything other than a vob.

Barb: I will echo what Bubba has said. I just worked last week on a .VOB file and had no problems whatsoever with PD10. It sounds to me like your computer is struggling. A dxdiag file will help us to determine if your computer is up to the task you are assigning to it. Video editing is very, VERY resource-intensive.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

The dxdiag file is important to diagnose what MIGHT be an issue, mostly, but not limited to hardware.
I stand by my VOB work-flow, however, as in the past, I have had VOBs where I cut out a part of the file but still hear the audio from it whilst playing a totally different part of the same VOB. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

WOW! You guys are great to respond to my SOS. I've been busy with a shoot this w/e so couldn't respond til now. As it turned out, my client postponed our edit session (and I was ever so glad). I never did get the VOB to work right but can't imagine not having enough computer power. What is a dxdiag file? I'll have to put that on my list of things I have to learn about this program.

I was having issues with importing VOB files into PD10 (previous post) and was advised to submit a DXDIG. I finally got that done in a zipped file. Following the newbie instructions, I also tried to Do Part C (PD uninstall/re-install with the CCLCleaner Tools but my browser restricted the site and when I said to allow and yes, run active an error message comes back "failed to redirect". I've put the VOB problem on the back burner right now so I can start learning how to edit this wedding I just shot.....Hopefully, upload will help with future issues I come across in the days ahead. Please advise if I'm not doing this right

Tks

Barb: The only issue that I see from your dxdiag file is that your video driver is a bit old. You should go to the nvidia site and download the latest video driver. Otherwise, your computer should be able to handle PD10 with grace.

If you have Hardware Acceleration turned on, try turning it off. Also, you should have the latest QuickTime installed - PD10 relies on it.

Hope this helps a little. Have a great day, Barb.
