Windows 10: DVD Playback Issue: Terra Nova (TV)

Hi, all

(I thought I'd participated here before, but the login messages say I haven't. Wow)

Amidst all the usual trials and tribulations associated with using Windows 10 (upgrading to Windows 7 looks better all the time), this one's just strange. After a fire, I don't have a TV any more. I can watch DVDs on my monitor, though, and it doesn't look at all bad. (The BD drive won't play blu-rays, though, which is a separate whine.) Most DVDs pop right up in Explorer, and I use Media Player Classic to watch.

When I put the disc for Terra Nova (the dinosaur/cop show from a few years back) in the drive, it never registers, and I can't figure any way to get it to show up (including even looking in windows media player, not a fun task). I went and googled the problem, but like 98'% of the responses deal with a video game of the same name. (Excluding those still doesn't get me anything about troubleshooting playback in windows. *sigh*)

Is there a kind of DVD that won't play on a computer/bd-disk drive? If so, is there a workaround to it? Or am I just going to have to wait for another Real DVD Player?

Many thanks for any ideas.

Davey
