Interesting Alternative to VLC – Movist
Today Gruber pointed out a link to an Open Source alternative to VLC. Given that VLC is hurting for the Mac developers, and that it's not able to even get a 64-bit version out the door, it seems likely that it might be heading out. If that's the case, then ripping DVDs is going to get very hard.
Movist seems to be nice, small, clean, and it works. Can't ask a lot more than that. I'll see if I need it, but it doesn't have the libdvdcss.2.dylib that HandBrake et. al. need to function. That's not a good sign.
