Windows 10: windows media player cannot play the file wedding 1985

I have played the DVD of our 1985 Wedding many times but now I get an error message when I try:

Windows media Player cannot play the file Video.TS.BUP. The player might not support the file type or might not support the code that was used to compress the file.


DVD made by Flicko's Video services. VHS video transfered to DVD format. Worked up until now on same computer.


Recommendation?

I suggest you to run both Windows Media Player Library and Settings troubleshooter and check.

Step 1: If your computer is having problems playing video or audio files in Windows Media Player, try using the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter checks the configuration and network settings

Step 2: If your computer is having problems accessing your collection of digital media files in the Windows Media Player Library, try using the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter makes sure
Windows Media Player is correctly installed on your computer, and checks to see whether your Player Library is corrupted.

Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:
