• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

perian works

Flip 4 Mac only handles Windows Media playback.

If the video still doesn't play then install the Perian Quicktime codec pack and see if that helps
Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime® components

In the unlikely event that doesn't work, download the VLC player - if that doesn't play the movie then nothing will

VideoLAN - Download official VLC media player for Mac OS X
