• 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.

Is there a way that I can make ALL of my movie files no matter what format open in VLC? It is a little annoying when have to I right click the file to open the file. Since Quicktime does not have full screen option, but there is a little hack. But that is also a little annoying.

Right-click one of the movie files, say a QuickTime, and choose Get Info. At the bottom of the Get Info window is an "Open with" dropdown. Change it to VLC.

Under that is a button to "Change All." Click that. Then do the same with all the other format files that VLC can open.
