Just to note, I have never knowingly added any third-party codec support or enabled any funtionality that might be allowing this use of VOB files. I have not tested this when converting to any other format. I'm very glad not to have to worry about this problem. I have yet to come across any problem with video/audio de-syncing, whether in any preview mode or after rendering to any format I convert to. When I preview any selected video directly from the timeline, it is in real-time and includes all edits, transitions and effects applied to the selection. The advantage is not being dependent upon converting a clip to DV or another 'edit-friendly' format to achieve this. In my environment, the video response-time in the monitor window is in real-time or in very smooth, near-real-time depending upon the preview method. I can work with VOB files without having to convert them first into another format.Ģ. I have had no issues working with VOB files and have noted three apparent advantages when using them in this software:ġ.

I'm also able to add VOB file(s) by dragging and dropping them into the 'Project Media' window. However, I can copy and paste a file path to a '.vob' file and successfully open the file. Importing a VOB file isn't possible using the normal 'Import Media' function '.vob' does not appear as an option in the drop-down menu of 'valid' formats.

(My software build number is 756.) I have not tested this in any other environment. To my pleasant surprise, Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 has undocumented VOB support, at least within the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (Service Pack 1), first-generation i7 Intel chip working environment I have it installed.
