Hello,
I have a quite new Acer PC.
Living in France now so Windows is in French.

It can play DVD's usually OK, but certain ones it won't even read.
So far it's been 3 Disney dvd's and a few others like Stand by me.

Do Disney stop you from playing their dvds on a pc or is there something wrong with the machine.

I've got a Lite-on DVDRW SHW-160P6S drive and win XP.

Any help would be great.

Cheers
Marv

I do not know any commercial DVDs that will play on a computer without ripping.
They are all protected. Some will play only extras if you download the software usualy included on DVD, but main feature(movie) will not play.
