Hi, RobinUK,


You can use the free download, Handbrake, to convert the VOB file to a good quality Mp4/AAC that will work well in iMovie. Handbrake will do it by default.


You can get Handbrake here:


https://handbrake.fr/


A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to

complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie.
