Try download a new codec for your dvd player software.

That didn't sound like a hardware problem. Windows Media Player can't play DVD until a third party DVD player (Power DVD, Win DVD, etc) is installed. The decoder software from third party player is tied to the Windows Media Player and it will now play DVD. WMP will still play DVD even if you un-install the third part player program. The decoder software becomes Windows's property. You can un-install all DVD player programs you have and re-install them to see if that fixes your problem.

check your computer's manual, and see what brand of DVD player you have, when you get it, go to the DVD-Rom's brand website and download the latest firmware for it. i've had the same problem with my DVD-RW, it burns cds that cant be read, when i upgraded the firmware, everything went back to normal
