Hmm, well I am the wrong person to ask.  I can't see why you'd want to do 
anything with ITunes really.  I guess I use it for the odd radio station and to 
sync my ipod, but there's very little wanting involved.  When I put  a dvd into 
the mac for the first time, it opened dvd player and started to play.  Since 
dvd player works more or less exactly like power dvd on windows I never even 
thought to question it.

Someone else may be able to offer up a benefit of using ITunes for dvd's, but 
I'll take dvd player for the straightforward interface.

Best,
