The VOB files are just MEPG2 streams and should import no problem. Did you try renaming those files to .MPG and importing them in one by one?

He said nothing of renaming the VOB files.

Also dumping a DVD should net you .VOB, .IFO and .BUP files. Not sure where the M2V file is coming from. If the DVD is NOT encrypted(most likely it's not) simply copying and importing the VOB files should work no problem.

I've tried this - I can import the renamed file, but when I add it to the timeline I get audio only (and just the first 30 seconds).
When I demuxed this is what I got:



Windows Movie Maker supports VOB files. Try using a different program to RIP the DVD (something that doesn't alter the files at all) or simply just copying the VOB files from the DVD if it's not encrypted. Try DVD Decrypter @ http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk

Yeah, I did copy my VOB files directly from the DVD. Are you sure you're not thinking of Windows Live Movie Maker? That one takes my VOB files, although it gets all weird with the time if I don't convert the file first. Like, the progress bar always appears to be 30 seconds, but if you click around and manually advance you can view past it.

Curse Microsoft and their silly named programs :P

Try converting the VOB files to WMV (If Movie Maker doesn't import this there's a bigger issue at play) using this: http://www.pcfreetime.com That program was recommend on the MS answer forums but use at your own risk and all that.
