I have converted 4 GB of VOB files to m4v using VLC's Convert & Stream function. When loaded into iMovie 10.1.14 no audio will play. I am attaching a screenshot with file info.
What can I do to make these files editable in iMovie?
Instead, try converting the VOB file to Mp4/AAC that is known to work well in iMovie. iMovie can be a bit sensitive to slight variations in codecs. If VLC won't do it, try converting with the free download, Handbrake.
You can get Handbrake here:
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.

That's very helpful and much appreciated. I hadn't thought of handbrake! Thank you very much
You are welcome.
Handbrake does Mp4/AAC by default. I've converted VOB files with it and the converted files work fine in iMovie.

m4v files play no audio in iMovie
