I have been trying to import video from a DVD-R, but MM2 doesn't recognize
the file type that these clips are saved as. When I hold the cursor over the
file icon in my E drive, it says that the type is VOB. How can I resave
these clips from the DVD and import them into MM2? No one can give me a
straight answer on this question. PLEASE HELP!!!

You are correct....WMM will not import a VOB file...
Have a look at the following site:

Also, searching the windowsxp.moviemaker
newsgroup for VOB in the Google Groups archive
turns up quite a few messages. Try the following

Thank you for the link ... but how do I change the VOB file to an MPG file?
Simply renaming the file does not change the file type. Thanks for the help.
