Setting VLC as default player

[Banaticus]

http://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_make_VL ... ult_player has some
good suggestions, but there's a really easy way to do it on a Mac.
First, make sure that VLC is in your Applications folder. Then, click
the Apple -> System Preferences, then in the Hardware section click
CD's/DVD's. Then just choose "Other Application" from each drop down
list and scroll down to VLC. The list is alphabetical, so it'll
probably be at the bottom. I tried creating an account on the wiki,
but I'm apparently not autoconfirmed yet even though I verified my
email and I can't even contact an administrator. I tried going to
irc, but there was literally nobody in the irc channel.

The above was what I tried to email to the list, but the list only allows registered users to post to it. You all sure make it difficult to edit the wiki, but then I could see that a wiki might be difficult to maintain when some of your administrators haven't edited for years now.

Thanks for your hint with regard to optical media playback. I merged the information in a slightly rephrased manner
