Prevent DVD Player launch

Hi,

This is not specifically a cocoa question, but it did come up when playing with the CocoaDVDPlayer example, and I happen to subscribe to this list...

Does anyone know how to prevent Apple's DVD Player from launching when a DVD is inserted? We are working on something that is based on the CocoaDVDPlayer sample code. However, when a DVD is inserted, Apple's DVD Player auto launches. If it cannot grab the DVD services it posts an error and quits. So, I know that by using Default Apps I can change that behavior. But, is there a programmatic way, maybe by accessing the launch services database, to temporarily remove DVD Player (if it's configured that way) and then restore the setting?

Or, can someone point me at the correct list on which to post this question?

Thanks in advance for any help.
