Yes, you're right. Normal windows doesn't come with DVD decoding software, as it is licensed by other companies (like Dolby, for instance). For about $19 you can buy a plug-in for Windows Media Player, that will let you play DVDs. Take a look at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDecoder
for more info on what's available.

1) Verify you have a DVD drive & not a cdrom
2) Yes, download or purchase a dvd player / decoder

This may sound daft but check to see that you have a dvd rom and not a cd rom !
You can`t play a dvd on a cd rom .

you probably will because maybe you dont have a decoder or it isnt compatable to play movies with the version of windows you have
