    You should keep the entire VIDEO_TS folder so then even Apple's DVD player can play it. I don't know if creating one and just putting a VOB file in there is enough.

    Didn't you use DVDBackup? Copy the whole folder like bunge said. Still VLC or MPLayer might open singular VOBs, they do for me.

    VOB's can be played through the OS X version of Mplayer, found on www.macupdate.com.

    What Messiahtosh said.



    MPlayer 2.0b6



    Another alternative is VLC.



    VLC Media Player 0.7.0
