DVD player program is equipped with DVD decoder and that's why you need to get a dvd player instead of a video player to play DVD. And from this case, it seems that you don't have any DVD player program on your computer. You can try these free dvd player programs:

1. Leawo Blu-ray Player
Leawo Free Blu-ray Player is a region free Blu-ray player program that could play Blu-ray/DVD movies without quality loss and cost, regardless of disc protection and region code restriction.

2. MPlayer
It has a wide range of video format support. It's capable of playing back the MPEG/VOB, ASF/WMA/WMV, VIVO, QT/MOV/MP4, AVI, OGG/OGM formats and so on.

3. 5KPlayer
5KPlayer is your best DVD player software for a smooth DVD playback on Windows 10. Comparatively speaking, it is lightweight and it lowers your Windows 10 CPU usage by 10% in general during DVD playback.

Hi,

There are plenty of free DVD decoder software out there. It all depends on what you want.

Personally I recommend VLC player. This software palys just about anything without the need for a decoder. Get VLC player here >>>>>

Ibm t23 laptop dvd rom not reading some dvds

Sounds like you need a DVD decoding software, ie... winvid, interdvd, and powerdvd. Windows media player will play some DVD's, but many DVD's, especially newer ones, need an additional decoder in order to work. You will be able to find the software at filehippo.com, download.com, or IBM's support site. Keep in mind that burning software, ie... nero, roxio, and dvd shrink, have decoders in order to burn the DVD, so they will work as a decoder in conjunction with your media player.

Dvd drive on laptop

You need a piece of software to play DVD movies. Is this an actual DVD movie, or is it an MP4 or WMV/WMA file?

Usually you need something like WinDVD to play a DVD movie. I don't think Media Player can play those.

Did you recently install another piece of software that might have affected your ability to play DVDs?
