Hi,

Firstly, you must associated Vlc as 'default' player for Dvd files (aka 
.vob), see bellow for procedure.
_Procedure to associate the Vlc as (default) Dvd player_ :
1 - Put a Dvd into the reader.
2 - If an application automatically play it, stop the movie and exit 
from the application (file>exit, Ctrl+Q, '(red) cross' in top right, 
Ctrl+X, Alt+f4, Ctrl+f4,...)
3 - Open a 'Windows Explorer' (Windows+E, Start>'All 
application'/programs>Accessories>'Windows Explorer',...)
4 - Go on the Dvd reader icon and double-click to explore it (or with 
the directory structure).
5 - Select the first Vob file (vts_01_1.vob)
6 - With the 'Shift' key pressed, right-click on the Vob/Vts file. You 
must have 'open with...' choice.
7 - Select 'open with...', and 'choose the program...'
8 - On the new windows dialog, you have the ability to chose a program 
to 'play' the file. If Vlc doesn't appear into the regular list, select 
the 'browse' choice and go into the Vlc install directory (default 
c:\program files\videolan\vlc) and choose vlc.exe
9 - If you want always use Vlc as default Dvd player instead of any 
other, check the choice 'Always use this application for this file' (i.e 
for this type of file)
10 - Check 'Ok'/'Apply' button
11 - If you double-click on it (i.e. 'play'), Vlc must be start instead 
of Power Cinema
12 - If you reinsert the Dvd, Vlc must be start instead of Power Cinema

_Other way to associate Vlc with Dvd reading :_
1 - Reinstall Vlc
2 - When the list of associate file is given, check the association with 
Dvd files (Vob, Ifo,...)

Secondary, be careful with the subject. You have lot of chance than 
nobody want answer you with this type of subject. More this is a 
mailing-list (many hundred of users) not a customer support-service 
where you can have 1 contact. You can easily replace Sir by a simple 
salutation as 'hello', 'hi',...

For information :
You are certainly under Windows OS (2k, XP, Vista,...) then you must 
certainly know than Windows create some default file association to help 
user by auto-launching the 'default' application associated with the 
type of file (in this case the content of DVD is Vob file and 'default' 
application is your Power Cinema application).
Lot of time you haven't the choice when you install some software, they 
associated them-self immediately with the managed file type as default 
player. If you loose the file association, you can redone the previous 
procedure to redone it.

Enjoy,
JaI
