Adobe After Effects with stunning features is popular video editing software for us. The point here, sometimes, you will find it's a painful experience when importing VOB into After Effects. And there are some frequently asked question quoted as below.

Q1: I had ad DVD. So far I have taken the video folder off the DVD and there is a .VOB file there. However I can’t seem to import these VOB to After Effects ... is there a lossless format which I could transcode the VOB file into?

Q2: I'm trying to get a DVD into After Effects. While, with a free DVD software, I've managed to get the .vob files, but now how do I get VOB files into After Effects without losing much quality?
