    Hi Nadira Chase, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?

    all DVD fail , no just one try 2 or more.
    bad drive
    bad media DVD,., like cracked or scratched.
    wrong region
    or PC only does CD-roms
    nobody can read your hDD label.
    or using DVD-R media in DVD-rom drive that can read cloned copies of dvd-r disks.
    no drive model told this ends.

    in device manager does the DVD drive show up thee.(it must) and if does does the driver software look goo there, try doing driver update?
    does the DVD show up, in explorer. as Files, it must. if not try CD disk, and see if files show up in explorer. a setup disk.
    or play CD_DA music disk?does that play?

    run HWinfo32.exe free (google it) see what it tells about this drive, it will tell all about it and what it can do.

If this is the cause for DVD not playing on your HP laptop, fix it through: Change DVD region in Windows 10: Search and open Device Manager > Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click on your DVD player and select Properties > click on DVD Region tab, select the region in whicj you want to change to and click OK.

Mine wont play anything a DVD it recorded it wont let me finalize

Today with HD High Definition TV these kind of problems appears because the new dvd players have more video resolution options, so, for playing all variety of dvd, and home done dvs,s (like family movies on dvd) you need set up your resolution video on your DVD player at 480i or 480p option, not higher because some DVD movies (mainly oldies) have lower resolution than newer , for example new movies on HD format have 1080 P resolution, and if you have this option chosen in your DVD player you only can see this kind of videos, on the other hand if you have chosen 480i or 480 p on your dvd player , you can play all dvd formats including home movies made with any movie software, in this way you can play dvd-r and +r movies and of cours you can play HD movies also. So put some dvd where your dvd player works well (you need see the dvd menu in the tv screen), then press stop. Then press setup in your remote control, go to video resolution and choose 480 I or 480p, then press ok AND ENJOY THE MOVIE.

Pioneer dvd r/rw wont play a dvd

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.
