You wouldn't unless you wanted to do more than watch...

other than that, VLC uses 2x or more cpu than DVD Player to play a dvd (on my machine, ymmv).

I've just very briefly tested my machine, and VLC used between 25% to 30% of my CPU when playing a DVD (Mary Poppins in my case!), while DVD Player uses 35% to 40%. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm on a PPC, and I'm using the PPC build of VLC, not the Universal Binary.
