• 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 bought a movie and it has a "Special Features CD" thing on the disc so whenever I put it in my computer, it goes to the special features menu in the DVD player application. I want to play the actual movie that plays in the conventional DVD player... how do I do this?!
I've tried a ton of things in VLC and I can't seem to figure it out.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Normally you would just select the Main Menu from that screen.

It would be helpful if you told us what disk it is. That way, if anyone has it they can try it out on their machine.

Thanks for the input. I had a friend go through it manually and he eventually found the file, it's a pretty obscure movie and obviously not set up well!
Problem solved, though.
