Having exactly the same problem with Hardy Heron Alpha 6. After launching conf-editor and then navigating to the key /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_dvd_command then setting value to vlc %m had no effect. Totem remains the default player. I think this might be because Nautilus is over riding these settings. In Nautilus under Edit > Preferences > Media > DVD Video the only media player option available is Totem. This is very frustrating as DVDs don't play properly in Totem as thier is no Menu navigation and only the first VOB is played.
