DVDs never work for me in Windows Media Player.
Use software like PowerDVD. It'll play it. ;)

Not necasserily. PowerDVD is real DVD software.
if you want a freeware dvd player check www.videolan.org
it works good, I use it.

I never had a problem with PowerDVD. Wonder why the colors are weird? That makes no sense. shrug
