If your computer recognizes a disc in the drive and operates normally, Id assume you would need a DVD player or codec to be able to actually watch the DVD. PowerDVD rings a bell.
Have you tired that? I know Windows Media Player by default wont let you watch a movie without first downloading a codec.

Try to download some free DVD player programs on your computer and they are designed for decoding DVD discs, unlike regular video players. You could try Leawo Blu-ray Player which can play both Blu-ray and DVD discs.

My dvd does not play in laptop due to digital copyright problem. what can i do to fix this? no dvd wil play

Copy-protected DVDs prohibit people from copying them, which is piracy. Copying a DVD to sell or even to give away is illegal. You can play copy-protected DVDs in a standalone DVD player or in your computer's DVD drive, as long as your computer's software is up to date. These DVDs will play the same as DVDs that are not copy protected

Press the "Eject" button on your DVD player to open the DVD tray. Set the DVD into the tray, and push the "Eject" button to close the tray. Press the "Play" button on your DVD player, and the DVD will play. b> On a DVD Drive on a Computer Press the "Eject" button on your DVD drive to eject the DVD tray. Set the DVD into the DVD drive, and push the tray in to close it. Click the "Start" tab on your computer's home screen to open the "Start" menu. Click on "My Computer" to open it. Click on the DVD drive to open the DVD. Click on "Autoplay" to play the DVD.

My pioneer dvd-rw dvr-k16m ata isn't playing music or dvds

Hi can you burn cds/dvds ? If not you can try to clean your dvd-rw. If that does not work is probably means its went to meet its maker and you will have to replace it.You can buy a new one for around £20.

Non-opening dvd/rw

Well, it may have got jammed. so try this trick.....
If you look at the dvd/rw drive..on the side of the button of the drive...you will find a very tiny hole so take a paper pin and insert it in the tiny hole if the drive is opened great!!! otherwise get it replaced as the dvd/rw drives are not costly thesedays..
