In most cases, vlc should be able to play DVDs from other regions in region 
locked drives. Unfortunately there are some DVD drives which behaving 
funkily.

In your case you could still try something else. I don't know if you've got 
a "preferences" panel in the vlc interface on MacOSX. If you have then open 
it, go to "Miscellaneous" then "access module" then "dvd" and change the 
method used for key decryption to "title" (without the quotes). Save and 
restart.

If you don't have this preferences panel, you can still run vlc from a 
console by using this line: "DVDCSS_METHOD=title ./vlc".

Hope this helps,
