How do I import a DVD into FCP to edit?

I have a DVD I made of home movies. When I try to import the stuff on the DVD it says error. It only imports the Video TS portion of the DVD..SO........that means the video shows up on my time time but NO AUDIO?!

How do I import the video AND audio from the DVD?

Can you help?

BEFORE you import it into FCP, use MPEG Streamclip (or other program) to convert and demux the DVD's VOB files into a format that matches your FCP Sequence settings.

Have you tried it and gotten no audio? Audio and video are both in Video_TS. The audio folder is for songs such as on a CD.

Use MPEG Streamclip to translate to your desired format.

MPEG Streamclip will separate (demux) the audio and video ... they'll still be in one file, but not multiplexed.
