Possible workaround:

I've modified my instructions for Hardy users by taking some advice given on Launchpad. I'm not gonna add it to my how-to until I know how well it works.
Tell me if this works for you:

 Copy and paste this into the Terminal:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/vlc.desktop

Go to your home folder, then click on "View" in the file browser (Nautilus) and select the "Show Hidden Files" option. Now, find the folder ".local" in your home folder, open it and then open the folders "share" and "applications". Now, find and right-click on "vlc.desktop" and navigave to Properties>Launcher>Command. Change the command to:

vlc --vout-filter deinterlace --deinterlace-mode blend --volume 512 --fullscreen %m

Now, navigate to Edit>Preferences>Media>DVD Video and select VLC.

Delete "--fullscreen" if you have problems with it launching in fullscreen,
