DVD AutoPlay (also CD autoplay)
Sorry, I meant to post this here... Besides TinkerTool, there is indeed a preference panel that can turn this off, but it's in the respective applications, not in the System Preferences. In Apple's DVD Player Preferences:Disc:Start Up, just uncheck "Start Playing Disc." In iTunes Preferences, under the "General" tab, you can select a number of options, including simply "show songs," which will prevent the CD from automatically playing. Or is there something to this I'm not following (certainly the DVD Player does not start up automatically on insertion on my computer...)

I think the problem is the launch of the DVD player is annoying. I have the autoplay option unchecked but the DVD player still launches when I put in a DVD (it doesn't play - just launches). Will this trick stop the DVD player from launching?

I have exactly the same situation on my iMac running 10.6.2; DVD Player loads up and starts playing no matter what pref I set or where.

This has turned into an interesting exercise ... First I updated OmniOutliner. Big mistake since the "upgraded" version won't open a plist file now (all grayed out in selection dialog box). No worries since I've used TextWrangler for this sort of thing before. So I added the suggested text and, no joy. I hunted around and found com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist in the user Library/Preferences directory and altered the entry
to read false/. Also no joy. Immediately beneath it is an entry
which I suspect was set to false/ by the application preference panel setting I changed day or two ago. Methinks this is a good old fashioned bug...

I set both of these keys to false as well as added AutoplayDVD false to com.apple.finder.pref, and DVDplayer still opens. It does not play, but I DO NOT want it to automatically open when I mount a DVD.

The problem is that DVD Player is responding to preferences on what to do once the application is already running. To adjust settings on what to do when a DVD (or CD) is inserted, go to System Preferences -> CDs & DVDs (in the Hardware section) -> and set the drop-downs to "Ignore".
