How to Import DVD to Premiere Pro CS3

I recently had to import DVD to Premiere Pro to edit for a client and it had been so long since I had done it, I had to stop and think about it for a while.

I thought that this resource might be helpful for those out there who are in the same boat. To be honest though, it’s actually REALLY easy!

• Copy VOB files to computer and duplicate (this way you have a back-up in case something goes wrong)
  • You need to be able to change the file extension from .VOB to .MPG
    • If you can’t see the file extension, go to
      • Start
      • Control Panel
      • Folder Options
      • Select “View” tab from the top
      • Uncheck the box “Hide extensions for known file types”
      • Click apply
      • If you want to reverse this after you are done, go back in and check the same box
      • When asked if you want to change the file extension, select “yes”
• Import .MPG files to Premiere Pro as per usual and you are done

I told you this one was easy!

Happy video editing.
