I tried to play a movie on WMP and it wouldn't let me. I then downloaded VLC and tried it, and it still wouldn't let me play the movie. It said, "'Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disk "D:\@1:1 :audio-track=0 :sub-track=0"."' What can I do, try, or download to be able to watch movies on my computer?

That apparently didn't work, because when I tried to play my movie, it said 'Cannot find DVD directory. What do I do now?

Sounds like you got a bad DVD.

I'm curious if you've tried another dvd as that error seems like a read error. Meaning the disc could be bad.

Try the Disk in another Computer.

There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

possibly a silly question, but is the drive you put the DVD in a DVD drive? Could it be a CDROM instead?
