I've tried importing in Premiere the .VOB files from a mini DVD with some video from a wedding (I didn't record that), but I can't say I have good news. The import process appeared to work well, but in the end I only found that the imported material can't be properly used/read by Premiere (too long to explain the problems here...). So my choise was to convert from .VOB to .AVI. I've tried different software with more or less success: poor image quality, sound de-syncronization. Finally I took the video track ONLY from the AVI with best image quality I got, then with Sound Forge I've recorded the sound and imported separatelly in Premiere. That's the best solution I could think of. It seems that the mini DVD camcorders don't record in a quite "compatible" DVD standard, or maybe I am wrong. I didn't have any problems importing .VOB files from DVDs I've created. Not to mention that a friend asked me at some stage to transfer the video from mini DVDs to normal DVD but I couldn't read them, either with the DVDs from my computers nor with a classic DVD player. My oppinion: mini DVD camcorders are not worthing the effort and money (for the moment at least). Or maybe I am wrong again. But I am convinced that someone, after working with the miniDV standard, could "go back" to mini DVD, or maybe even worse, video on memory cards (or whatever they are called). Just my oppinion.
