-1st, create a new project and import the project that has errors and see if that fixes the problem

Also, the name shows as "  .VOB" with BLANK spaces ahead of the .VOB

I don't think it's a smart Idea importing from a USB stick to start with.

Copy the VOB to your computer, if you are still having a problem rename it and change the extension to .mp4

I agree with what previous people suggested.

I have a laptop now with NO DISC DRIVE. This is a problem if I want to put a DVD or BD into my computer.

What I do is I go to my editing computer ( which has BD drive ) and put the DVD in there. I than COPY ( duplicate) the entire disc using a 3rd party program ( some free thing ) as an ISO and put that on usb stick, and put that ISO thing into a temp directory. Then use same program to create DVD from the ISO file.

Eject usb mem stick.

Now I got the full DVD on my laptop and I try to PLAY IT. If it works than I'm happy.

NOW I go into the individual VOB files and look at what's in them and choose what I want to use.

I use THOSE VOB files as the source material ( from hard drive or SSD now...since it's now in my computer ). The project setup has to be the usual stuff for DVD ( ntsc or pal or whatever, x fps, correct dimensions, lower or upper field first, etc. ).

Should work.

The VOB stuff is compressed originally using the standard stuff and sometimes audio is not in the same VOB file, etc.  It's kinda complicated.
