Best editing codec?

I was under the impression that Vegas let you edit the VOB files directly.

Failing that to save space you can either:

Edit using the AVS file if you have premiere
Use the Bait and switch method (which I hate)
Use a codec like MJPEG (which I use)

Use Huffy, or Lagarith if you have a ton of space available.
When an[url] 80 gb hard drive is only 40.00 , getting that space shouldn't be too difficult.

UNCOMPRESSED

Well, I have yet to install Vegas, so I have no ideas what it's capabilities are. I wanted to get my video and audio ready to go first. I easily have the disk-space though--160 gigs, fairly empty. (I might add a 72-gig Raptor later on and make that my main HDD, leaving the 160 fully for storage. I need money first though). Besides, if nothing else, this allowed me to do some experimenting on how to clean up footage. I also figured out what I did wrong to screw up the video quality on my first recompression attempt--Full processing instead of fast recompress. BTW, doesn't Lagarith compress better than Huffy?

Requiet: While I do have a rather large harddrive, it isn't that big

Both Vegas and Vegas Movie Studio will open VOB files on the timeline, but as for editing with them...maybe. Some DVDs work, others don't.
