Actually, VLC and mplayer have slightly differing syntaxes for this.
VLC wants an `@' character in the URI (or MRL). Leaving it out is an
error. Mplayer allows the `@', but warns about it. So, the URI that
works for both looks like this: `dvd://@1'. (That's the title number,
by the way.)

At least this is true for cdda: URIs. This is how I implemented it in
my CDDA code (to be merged with Bongo soon?). Unfortunately, I cannot
test DVD or VCD on my computer, but I'd like Bongo to support it with
the same interface.
