DVD + Player = Problem

[OpalPearl]

Now I have a DVD player installed in my computer am pretty sure it is a DVD player as it's logo is stuck on the player itself. The problem is, it can't read DVD files for whatever reason, it can read VCD, play them, understand that it is a VCD that is inside, but for DVD, it is different, it can't even recognize that there is something in it.

Now I have done over a dozen google searches and have downloaded (and uninstalled) over 5 codecs, and it still won't work. VLC won't work either. No one seems to know what the problem is...

Help?

(I am using Windows XP SP3 by the way.)

By DVD player do you mean a program or piece of hardware?

Yeah Opal, you switch from to something that sounds like Software and then to Hardware.
