• 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 your "archive disk" an external drive? If so, plug it into your computer and drag the file through Finder.

The answer is the same, insert the DVD and drag the file to your Finder or simply onto the desktop.

Your Mac probably has a program installed called DVD player. Launch that then look for a command that says something like "Open DVD" in the File menu. From there navigate to the folder in your screenshot and open the file VIDEO_TS folder. If the DVD does not start playing open the file VTS_01_0.VOB.

If this is a legal, non-copy protected DVD, get Handbrake and rip it to an .mv4 or mpeg file. then play it with your favorite player.
Or just use VLC and "open DVD" and select the video_TS folder. Should play fine.
