Firstly, you use vlc 0.4.1 as 0.4.2 is broken and won't work.

Secondly, make sure you indicate the right drive letter for you dvd drive 
when you try to play a dvd with vlc. In the "Open Disc" dialog window, you 
should type your drive letter in the "Device name" section.
I recall a few crashes caused by this mistake.

Lastly, could you describe a little bit more what happens before the crash ? 
Do you see a video window opening before the crash ?

Hope this helps,
