Hmm, you say it finalises discs with VOB files? Sounds like your camera is making a video DVD of the footage you've shot - the VOB files are not designed to be drag n' droppable to a computer for editing,.

I'm not sure if your hardware can be persuaded to record mpeg files , or whether the camera maker provides software for ripping from dvd to video file, however you'll need to make that step before editing.
