I have DVDs at home which Windows Media Player will not play. It plays other video (MP4 etc) and music, but when I insert DVDs into my Dell E5500 Laptop (Windows XP Pro) it says there is a copy protection issue. It suggests updating the video card driver. These BBC DVDs play with PowerDVD, but not WM or VLC or ReadPlayer. They also play fine in DVD players.i Neither Microsoft nor Dell seems to provide any solution. What is the reason for this and how can it be put right?
