    Hi, I am desperately trying to import an older project stored on DVD into MC5. MC5 says it can't read VOBs. Are there any known ways to import VOBs to Avid Media Composer? Thank you in advance!

Media Composer, a professional software-based non-linear editing system is Avid's flagship product. It can support various commom videos for editing, but DVD disc movie can not be easily imported into Avid Media Composer in that it is difficult for Avid Media Composer to recognize and support VOB files.
