You need to check the autorun settings in the Control Panel of your Windows version.

Try to set "Ask me every time" in dvd autoplay section.
Are you using the portable version of MPC-HC?

I think it's a problem related to MPC-HC not having a handler for DVD player.

I am referring to a MPC-HC handler in the system registry section for the DVD autoplay feature.

Moved to the coffee corner because this has nothing to do with VLC, it's all about Windows.
