Well, then you should read the README.MacOSX.rtf document again. It 
clearly states:

3. How do I read a CD/(S)VCD/DVD ?
To view a (S)VCD, DVD or Audio CD, you will need to choose "Open Disc" 
from the "File" menu. Choose your disk type and then choose the drive 
in which you inserted the disk. VLC media player is currently unable to 
read SVCD directly from the drive. Some SVCDs can be read if you tell 
VLC they're VCDs, in the "Open Disc" dialog.

I would love to make this proces more userfriendly/transparent, but i 
don't know how.
