1. All DVDs use MPEG 2 video, every windows based machine from at least 2000 and up supports that right out of the box.

2. Windows Media Player blows ass. Use powerdvd or the almighty (and free) Media Player Classic. Install VLC media player as a backup. VLC does not use direct show for video rendering so that means it can play just about anything without the needed codecs.

3. Google man, this is not help desk.

4. It does sound like you do not have a DVD-Rom drive as a previous poster said. They are cheap as dirt:

Basic DVD-Rom (this means that it can play any standard dvd but can not burn cd/dvds to a disk)

Recommended: (Can read and write to dvd or cd media)
