Convert DVD so PE 14 can edit it

[Petoskey resident]

Convert DVD Video_TS to MOV or others that can be used by premiere elements 14 (PE14).
I’ve been told I can change the VOB to MOV and PE14 can then edit it. I am not sure how to change the VOB which is under the TYPE column in the file directory. I can change the VTS file name (under name) but not sure PE 14 could then edit it. I’ve also been told to use “MPEG Streamclip” software but it appears to have security questions.
I want to convert DVDs so PE14 can edit them. I will then store them on a large hard drive. I will eventually edit and log the scenes of each DVD for easier future access.
I am sure my basic questions have revealed me as someone who has an awful lot to learn.
Thanks for your help.

No need to convert anything, Petoskey. And welcome to Muvipix!

Just select Add Media/Files and Folders and browse to the VIDEO_TS folder on your hard drive. You can import the VOB files into your project and add them to your timeline.

If the DVD files are on a disc, just follow the instructions in our books: Put the disc in your computer's disc drive and select Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive, then use the Video Importer to rip the files from the disc to your computer.
