I am having trouble captureing my wedding DVD to Movie Studio. Is there an easy way to do it... I transfer the VOB files to my external HD, but when I try and load them in to Movie Studio they seem to be all messed up... The audio will be office... and it seems to jump sections of the video. Is there a way I can transfer it to my Sony MiniDics camera first and then to movie studio? Any ideas?

If you're using Vegas Movie Studio 6 there is a new function under File / Import / DVD Camcorder Disc. This should properly import the whole DVD.

And does that Capture from my DVD player in my computer or does that import from hooking my DVD player into my MiniDV camera?

I am sorry, I guess I am still a little confused that were it captures the media from. This is an actual DVD that I recieved from Sandals resorts that they produced and put onto a DVD-R disc for me.

It reads from a disc in your computer's DVD drive.

Chienworks;
I read your post about using: file/import/dvd camcorder disc and was elated that they had put this feature into Platinum. I have been trying to load a DVD made with Vegas and Arch 2 (before I updated to Platinum and Arch 3 into an IPOD.
I created a 40 second movie with sound and three chapters in Platinum and burned it using Architect 3. Stuck the DVD in and it worked great. I went home and put a DVD in created in my old version of Movie Studio and Architect 2 and it bombed! I thought I would try another movie I created in Platinum and Arch 3 and it also bombed. I have examined the file structures and they appear to me to be the same makeup. Only difference I can see is the length 40 seconds vs. 1 hour. The error message says "an exception has occured during the current operation. Exception OxC0000005 (access violation) in Module Vegas Movie Studio PE60.exe etc. etc. I have tried this on two separate computers both loaded with the current Platinum and Arch 3 updates. Any clue?? You're the man!!

Try this product:

I've used it to burn clips off of DVD's and convert to different media files. It's worked pretty well and may be what you are looking for.

Early releases of DVD Architect 2 created VOB files that were slightly too large. Generally these VOB files were readable only by a set-top DVD player and would crash if you tried to read the whole disc in a DVD-ROM drive. I got caught this way when i did an initial burn run of a DVD, then deleted it from the hard drive expecting to be able to make additional copies from one of the burned DVDs. Nothing would successfully read the disc, not even any of the DVD ripping software i tried. I ended up having to recapture all the original footage and re-render the whole thing from scratch. Vastly annoying!

The last release of DVDA2 and all releases of DVDA3 create correct VOB files and don't have this problem.
