Try downloading and installing the free program VLC which is said to play every audio and video file you throw at it.

Hi Pune,

That's strange, any errors at all when you try to load it? I know Windows 10 can be funny with Windows Media Player, so I'd definitely recommend VLC player :)

Cheers.

Hi again, Pune. I've done a bit more checking, and apparently the VLC app available from the Windows store doesn't support DVDs, so you'll need to install the desktop version, available from here:
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-w ... en-GB.html

Hope this helps.
