I prefer to bypass the DVD option of our dual DVD/HD camcorder. I rather process the VRO files from the HD recorder directly. But if I remember correctly, the following also worked with DVDs (VOBs) made from this camcorder. What I found to work with the camcorder output is: 1. MPEG Streamclip: convert from VRO (or VOB) to mpg 2. VirtualDub MPEG: convert from MPG to (mpeg4 encoded) AI, including cutting into clips Both applications are free.
