Hi Guys

I need to use VLC to play certain videos and as soon as I insert the disc into the DVD drive the DVD app starts. I used to be able to disable this autoplay in previous OSX by going to DVD's and CD's under preferences and changing the settings.

Can't find the solution in El Capitan - any ideas? Cheers

Have you tried:

DVD Player -> Preferences
When DVD Player Opens - Start Playing Disk: **Unchecked"
When a disk is Inserted - Start Playing Disk: **Unchecked**

System Preferences -> CDs & DVDs
When you insert a video DVD: **Ignore**
