If you have a DVD drive and DVD viewing software which are provided by your computer manufacturers.( like WinDVD),if not so the DVD you wanted to play is right protcted,which you cannot play without paying a premium.So better check it out with DVD label.If it's a right protected no media player will play it it's a copy right protection.Put the DVD on your CD-ROM drive,open my computer and see if your drive is highlighted with DVD title.If so right click on it.from the drop down box select explore,and see if there is a special software to play it.That may be on their website,which you have to download it for specific DVD only.Either your drive soesnot recognized the DVD so go to manufacturer's website and down load the recent driver.If driver is not compatiable to play Window doesnot play.

Window media player does not have the MPEG-2 codec and a dvd decoder in it. either you have to install another dvd player such as Intervideo home theatre, or power dvd etc. These softwares often are given away in a software cd that comes with the computer or the dvd drive; Once you install one of these, windows media player will play DVDs Or There are some links to dvd decoder plugins given on microsoft's website below which you can download and install.

I hope your CD-RW is also a DVD player... If it doesn't say DVD on it then it is not made to play DVD's. You can buy one for about $30 if yours isn't a DVD player.
