Did you use File -> Import -> DVD Camcorder Disc ?

And wait a while, be patient. The dialog box extracts individual mpg files, then disappears. Don't touch anything when it disappears, still be patient. After a few minutes, all of the files will eventually appear in your project media tab.

At least that's what happens on my system.

Well I tried to open other VTS files within the DVD, I find that the files that are smaller than 1GB seem to be working find ...... My cpu RAM is 1GB . Has the ram got to do with this?

VTS_xxxx.VOB files on DVD is a just like a parts of splited zip or rar archives. While putting them directly to timeline you can see first/last frames as corrupted. The best way - use VobEdit to demux video and audio streams separately (it remove av delay if it present in VOB), then take only one video and one (needed) audio streams, multiplex them into one .mpg (for example in TMPGEncPlus MPEG Tools) and now place to Vegas timeline.

If VOBs haven't an av delay you can use DVDDecrypter in IFO Mode with Stream processing enabled to choose only needed a/v streams saved into a one new VOB, then place it on Vegas or DVDA's timeline.
