Sony DCR-DVD92E Handycam headache

wexhun

Can anyone please help me I am a complete novice when it comes to technology, I recently purchased a Sony handycam, records straight to DVD. Thought when I bought it would be great as I could just whip in the dvd to my laptop and edit away but alas....no. I am using windows xp. and have movie maker and Nero none of which recognise the format that the disc is in (VOB) so therefore I can't edit, save, copy, anything. I can view it alright thru cyberlink but thats it. How do I get around this problem, there was no software package provided with the camera and if I purchase a software package, which one and how can I be guaranteed that it will recognise the disc. Any ideas? PLEASE!? Beginning to regret the purchase!:(

adobe premiere support suggests renaming the .vob file to .mpg if you want to import vobs. give it a try and drop it into movie maker or nero
