• 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.

I wanted to make VLC my default player. So I right clicked on a movie, clicked 'get info', then clicked 'open with' and selected VLC. Now all my movies look like the screen shot. It's like I can't just select the movie and play it normally.

I'm not sure what happened when you changed the open with but I can tell you how you can play those files.
Just select and drag the Video_TS folder of the individual movies to the DVD Player or VLC and the movie will start playing.
