I'm importing video from a DVD(VOB format). Everything is fine on the import. I can play the video and it looks/sounds correct. When I drop the video onto the timeline, however, the audio has loud random pops/clicks all through the track. I have enough processing power(3.5 GHz) and enough memory(1 GB) so I don't think it's an equipment problem. I've tried importing from different DVD players and I get the same thing so I don't think it's the DVD. I'm running WinXP.

Has anybody run into this or know how to correct it?

Thanks,

Kevin,

I can't seem to replicate your issue. I tried with several of my own project VOB files, and purchased movie VOB files. I asked PD version as I did have some issues in an earlier version of PD. When you say importing from different players, what do you mean? Are you by chance importing the VOB files directly from the DVD's? If so, you should always move the VOB files from the DVD to your HD and then import from there.

Secondly, if you produce to a file, say mpeg2, HQ profile, with the imported VOB's on the timeline, does the produced file pop and click?

Hi Jeff,

This is really bugging me. I can watch the DVD and import the VOB files(either from the DVD or after copying to HD) and watch it with no problems. The pops/click show up whenever I drop the video onto the Timeline. After that, when I play the video, the audio problems show up. Very frustrating...

As far as the different players, I was trying to eliminate any hardware problems that might be happening, so I have 2 DVD players in my computer and tried importing from both.

I haven't tried producing a video yet because I didn't want to burn a coaster...

Jeff,

I bit the bullet and produced the video. The pops/clicks were there. Do you know if there any known software conflicts that might produce this kind of audio problem?

Thanks,
Kevin
