Make sure that you have the right Region DVD, e.g. Region 4 DVD will only play on Region 4 DVD drives and players.

Do you have a software or hardware DVD decoder?
DVD's cannot be played without one.

Try using 3rd Party software like WinDVD Platinum, which contains it's own DVD decoder.

Is the DVD a pirate?
When DVD movies are made they contain a 'decryption key' hidden in the DVD. When the DVD is copied or pirated, the key is not copied over, thus preventing play.
