I've been trying playing original video DVDs since a week now and I'm sad to say that VLC just doesn't work (at least on my config).
I've tested many discs from different brand/studios with always the same result (everything works with Apple's DVD Player.... but it's so ugly! I want to use VLC for everything video or audio related). Some time I can see the DVD-menu of the disc but if I click on anything on the menu VLC just crash or stop responding or anything happen.
I've tried opening the disc with command+d -> /dev/rdiskXX, or opening the VIDEO_TS folder, or directly a VOB file: no way to get it working.
I've tried deleting preferences (manually and with the automated script), reinstalling VLC, installing a nightly build (1.0.5-branch-intel64-20100119-0209 or vlc-git-intel-20100124-0010 or one of the latest that doesn't even works since aren't finished afaik).
I haven't tried to do the same things on Windows 7 via BootCamp (will try ASAP).
Here the log of what happens with a DVD of mine:
