Convert DVD to Premiere Pro (CC, CS6, CS5, CS4) Editable Video

People often add some flim clips or snapshots in their videos to make their videos more attractive when they edit the footage in Premiere Pro (CC, CS6, CS5, CS4) before post to YouTube. When the movie you want to use on the local, it is easy to trim a fragment and merge it into the YouTube video on Premiere Pro. But how will you do when the film is a DVD video? All of the versions of Premiere Pro don't support DVD.

Is there any way to trim a DVD clip and add DVD clips to Premiere Pro (CC, CS6, CS5, CS4) for editing? When searched the solution on Google, you can get three solutions. But you can't get 100% work on the former two methods.

Method 1: Copy DVD to VOB for Premiere Pro CS4, CS5, CS6, CC

VOB file support was added in CS4 with the 4.1 update, however non-standard VOB files remain problematic.
