Does anyone know how to do this?
I know how to get VLC to launch when the DVD is inserted, but how do I get them to autoplay (like DVD Player.app does, DVD player.app is no good as it keeps requiring region switches).

This is for my media center and is quite important to me.

Hope someone can help!

Well you can do it with AppleScript. This ought to work unless you have an unusual system configuration. You might have to replace 'disk2' below with 'disk1', you can figure it out by inserting a DVD in your system and, in Terminal, do 'diskutil list' and find the disk identifier that matches up with the DVD you inserted.

1. Open /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor and paste in this script:
   
   code:

   set DiskName to do shell script "diskutil info disk2 | grep -i \"volume name\" | awk '{print $3 }'"
   
   tell application "VLC"
   open DiskName
   delay 5
   fullscreen
   play DiskName
   end tell
2. Save that as a script
3. In System Preferences, set your DVD insertion preference to run the script you just created
