Make VLC To default DVD Players

Usually when we play DVD movies/music then the movie player is shown. if you want to change the VLC as the default DVD player, follow the steps below:

$sudo su
$mkdir ~/.local/share/applications

copy standar VLC setting with command

$ cp /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/vlc-dvd.desktop

edit file : vlc-dvd.desktop

$gedit ~/.local/share/applications/vlc-dvd.desktop

Find the file below

Exec=vlc %U

Change With

Exec=vlc %f

Done.

It is recommended to configure your file below input command

Exec=vlc --vout-filter deinterlace --deinterlace-mode blend --volume 512 %f
Exec=vlc --vout-filter deinterlace --deinterlace-mode blend --volume 512 --fullscreen %f

create a new file to the VLC better performance
