Kivech,
 
VLC wouldn't autoplay with the current launch command even if it was added to 
the list, so we just need to wait for a return of the ability to launch by 
command string.
 
Please ignore the workaround I posted above, as the per-user method is a little 
bit tricky compared with the following system-wide approach: 
 
First of all, if you followed my other crappy method, open the Terminal and 
delete that file in ~/.local/share/applications, as it's not needed with the 
system-wide approach;

rm ~/.local/share/applications/vlc.desktop

Keep the Terminal open and copy and paste this command into it:            
gksudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list 
 
Change the line "x-content/video-dvd=totem.desktop" to 
"x-content/video-dvd=vlc.desktop". Close and save.
 
Note: You need to repeat the following steps each time VLC is updated.
 
Next, edit the following two files by pressing alt+f2, typing your password and 
then by navigating to both /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop and 
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/vlc.desktop. Right-click on them and select 
"Properties" in the context menu, then  replace the "exec=vlc %U" launch 
command of both files to:
 
exec=vlc --vout-filter deinterlace --deinterlace-mode blend --volume 512 %m
 
Close and save both files. Finally, navigate to 
Nautilus>Edit>Preferences>Media>DVD Video,  select VLC and then reboot or 
logout before you insert a DVD.
