Just drop the .vob files onto the T/L.
If Vegas doesn't like the .vob files rename them to .mpg
You may strike one problem, Vegas has a problem joining the .vob files, you'll likely lose a few frames at the join. To get around this use DVDShrink to join all the .vob files into one .vob file and then edit that.

Only downside to any of this is you're going through another stage of mpeg encoding which is lossy. Never found it to be a big issue myself and if it's only a trailer and the original footage was pretty clean to start with I wouldn't sweat over it. If you do, there's Womble which is a native mpeg editor. I've tried it and while it gets the job done it's not a real fluid experience.

Correct. That feature wasn't added until 6.0c.
The VideoHelp site has a lot of tools for doing this.
Do a search on either "DVD to AVI" or "VOB to AVI".

The procedure I descrie in the link below works with any version of Vegas. Also, the editing speed on the timeline will be almost as quick as DV AVI. It is a truly amazing technique. Highly recommend it:

DGIndex and VFAPI to edit VOB files on Vegas timeline

You can do lots of great things with VFAPI once you understand it.
