Mac Mini vs. DVD

[Vociferous]

I apologize ahead of time if this is a silly question.

I was given a Mac Mini for Christmas and while it's easy to use and fine to work with, apparently I have no idea how to play a DVD on here. I put in the disc, and the icon with the movie title shows up on my desktop like any normal computer. When I double click it, it opens up a folder with with a few sub-folders (ie. AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS). I tried opening one of the .VOB files in Quicktime and then also in WMP, and they both say it's either not a movie file, or the format is invalid. It happens with all DVDs. Is there some program I'm supposed to be using and I just don't know it? I've tried Quicktime, DivX, and WMP.

Boo, I'm dumb Help!

Hello, after you insert the DVD, go to your Applications Folder and double click the DVD Player icon.
You can also go to System Preferences, click on the CD's &DVD's icon and next to where it says "When you insert a video DVD", Click the little blue box with the triangles then click on "Open DVD Player".
