• 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.

Hi all,
Just got my first Mac and I'm loving it!
I need help regarding movie players. Besides iMovie and QuickTime, which program do you think is more user friendly for watching movies/clips (just watch, not editing).
Thank you!

Most of us use VLC to watch movies or the built in DVD Player.app. Make sure you download the correct version of VLC (you want the 64 bit version).
