It opened the file, so it may be an encoding issue? Try opening it in a text editor and then save it as UTF-8 with BOM.
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Try an application such as TextWrangler. You will have much more control over this.
