I don't think this is a bug as such just a confusing and obscure method of configuring Ubuntu. To get VLC to play DVDs by default I followed the advice given at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=733559 #8 Step 1 is to set VLC as the default DVD player via: $ sudo gedit /ect/gnome/defaults.list And changing the line x-content/video-dvd=totem.desktop to x-content/video-dvd=vlc.desktop Step 2 is ensuring that VLC starts with menus enables this is done via editing two files first $ sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop and changing exec=%U to exec=%m then sudo gedit /usr/share/app-install/desktop/vlc.desktop and changing exec=%U to exec=%m in this file as well. You can now go to Nautilus > Edit >Preferences>Media and select Open VLC media player for DVD Video
