Newbie Question: Problems on Mac OS X

[Andreas Gschwendtner]

I just downloaded OSEx 0.0100b (is this the latest version?), but I 
didn't see an option to extract a whole DVD, just single VOBs. How did 
you extract a whole DVD (including menu-structure, .ifo-files, etc.)? 
Are we talking about the same thing? (I downloaded from 
www.macdvd.org/lukifer). Anyway - extracting single VOBs is what I want 
to do, after all...

So I decided to give the program a try and extracted a single .vob-file. 
Same problem: vlc crashes every time I try to play it. On my Windows PC 
the ***same*** File I extracted using OSEx plays just fine! So this 
problem must _really_ be within vlc and does _not_ depend on ripping. I 
tried several tools for ripping DVDs on my Windows PC and I can play all 
of my extracted VOBs on that machine using Intervideo's WinDVD. Is there 
any other program for the Mac (OS 9 or OS X) that alows you to play 
.vob-files?

Does _nobody_ but me have problems with a crashing vlc app in Mac Os 
X??? I can't believe that, as my installation is tidy and not very 
messed up... If nothing else helps I will try to reinstall the OS and 
see if the problem persists. BTW: I use a Powerbook G4-500 - so it's no 
exotic hardware either...

I'm wondering if we can sort this out, thanks for your help.
