try cleaning the laser lense
If you have a dirty lense it can still read cd because data is not as compressed on dvd, each byte of data takes up far less space on a dvd so the dirty lense might not pick it up whereas it might pick it up on a dvd

It seems you don't have any codecs... The problem is not in windows media player.
Just install a codec pack like http://www.free-codecs.com/download/codec_pack_all_in_1.htm

Hope to solve your problem.

If you insist on using the GOM Player, you have to install the codec from http://www.free-codecs.com/index.htm,

Suggestion,
Install the "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack" or "K-Lite Codec Pack" to your PC/Laptop.

Alternatively you can install Free media players like VLC Media Player Or MPCStar Player which will play most of the Audio/video formats.

Try Windows Media player that comes with your Windows operation system. For Real media, try Real player. Also you can try Media player classic.

The reason for this issue is the lack of a codec software like Cyberlink PowerDVD or PowerCinema.These are paid versions.We could try installing a codec pack from Klite.Its free.The link is : http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=5075&s=775 Please let me know whether it fixed it

You need a new DVD codec. If you have a copy of WinDVD, give it an install. Otherwise, try the free codec on www.divx.com.
