Automatically playing DVD's with front row?

I'd like front row to launch whenever I insert a DVD movie, however under the CD's and DVD's preferences, I can't point to 'front row' under what action I'd like to take when inserting a DVD.

Anyone know how to have it so front row launches after inserting a DVD instead of apple + esc?

Thanks

Do you have the little remote control that came with your Mac? Just use that to launch FrontRow

I do, but I'm a man of convenience

...or lazy, haven't decided which.

Front Row doesn't technically play the DVDs, it's still DVD player down there doing the work. Same with iTunes and music CDs.
Front Row just gives a different GUI to view them through.

Or you could get create and write a little applescript to launch frontrow for you...

It probably wouldn't have to be that complicated either... then just choose the 'applescript' option to be used when you insert a DVD.

Luckily for you, I went out and googled it... of course somebody has done this first

tell application "System Events"
tell application "Front Row" to activate
key code 53 using {command down}
delay 0.5
key code 53
end tell
