Well, VLC should work on any dvd drive, without help of any other
software... You just need to select the proper drive letter in the open
disk dialog box. About autostart of DVD playback upon insertion of a
DVD, this should be possible, eventually setting up some scripts, but
I'm not enough of a windows guru to know exactly how...
