Hi there - I am using Cyberlink Power Director 15 - Ultimate. For some reason I am unable to import any .vobs into my project which was not a problem with other versions. I tried looking to see if there was a similar problem amongst the Forum queries - but could not see anything? Thanks.

As a workaround you can alter the extension of the vob files to...and I can't recall EXACT but someone will chime in...

alter the extension to .mpg, I think. They are the same files so see if it works.

Might be MPEG or MPG as opposed to mpg.

Hi BarryTheCrab - thank you for getting back to me. I tried that before posting as I remember it used to work before if I ever had a rare problem with vobs. Unfortunately - that method doesn't work with Power Director 15 Ultimate - or at least it doen't work - for me. Thank you again for replying.

Just a couple of questions that may or may not have some relevance. What type of DVD are you importing your VOB's from i.e. is it one that you created yourself or is it a commercial one? Secondly have you tried copying the a VOB to your computer, say the desktop first and then importing it from there?

Hi There - it is a DVD I have created myself and yes, I have tried copying the .VOB to my computer, to no avail. Thank you for replying to me - appreciated.

You can always try a capture from optical disc.

Thank you Tomasc for your reply. Unfortunately I have already tried that with no success! I guess I'll just have to 'learn to live with the problem'!
