Default making VLC the default for playing DVDs

You can do this without TweakUI too. Right click on the DVD drive in
Explorer and select properties. AutoPlay tab, DVD Movie (drop down
menu), and Select an action to perform. Then select Play DVD movie
using VideoLAN VLC media player.


But can you do that? For some reason, I don't have VLC in the list
of autoplay handlers, and I don't see any option in the VLC
preferences to set that association. Maybe it asked once, when I was
installing it, and I said no?


If you use custom install of VLC, I believe you need to check Discs
Playback to have the handlers created. Not 100% sure though.


That's very likely. I always install using custom installs, never
default. And if that was one of the options, I most certainly disabled
it, as I very rarely play DVDs on a computer, and have no issues with
the default player.
