Currently I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. When I try to load in a commercial (bought) DVD with TV shows on it, it won't read/play. It "loads" then skips to the very end (end of play message)...hear it running in the drive though...

Any suggestions? (And don't send me to windows site, that damn troubleshooter @#(! they give doesn't work)

Edit - Just downloaded WinDVD trail...works playing the DVD but don't want to pay 40 bucks if windows is able to do this stupidity..

Suggest you tell us what you're using, and that you try using something else ;)

I'll point you in the direction of http://www.cccp-project.net/ which includes http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ which can play dvds.

I've also noticed that some DVDs (or DVD menus) don't work correctly with Windows Media Player/Center. VLC plays them fine. ;)

VLC is good, but I noticed some problems with DVDs and Blurays, so for those I usually use MPC. (madmeople linked it)
