I have not installed VLC player,but the videos automatically runs through it.I have also installed Power DVD 7 , but when i choose to play videos through it ,it displays a mssage"no disk inserted".Windows media Player can not read these videos.
Get back to the question that will Windows Media Player play Blu-ray, unfortunately, the Windows Media Player may disappoint most faithful users as it really cannot play any Blu-ray disc. Why can't Windows Media Player work on Blu-ray even with the growing number of this kind of discs? The reason for this is not that hard to understand.
Because the Windows system is not containing the codec when it's built up. Without the ability to play Blu-ray discs, the Microsoft Company does not have a need to spend extra cost on a license for a less pivotal function. When the system does demand such functionality, it will come with a higher compulsive expense of its cost.

First, Windows Media player cannot play DVD. Then, make sure that before you try anything to examine or fix your DVD player, it's suggested that you make sure the disc you are trying to play is intact and well.
For the no disc issue, there are always some common fixes that you can apply to make it functions normally. Here is how you can try.
Step 1:Press the "Eject" or "Open" button on the DVD player to disc tray to determine if it opens easily and does not appear jammed or hindered. If the disc tray appears to open slower than usual or fails to open, the disc may not sit flush in the tray or otherwise be seated properly. Use your hand to pull out the disc tray slowly if it does not open on its own and then reseat the disc. Close the disc tray and press "Play" on the DVD player again to see if reseating the disc in the tray corrects the "NO DISC" error.
Step 2:Remove the disc from the DVD player. Use a lint-free cloth and some denatured alcohol or water to clean the disc and remove any dust or smudges that may prevent the player from reading it properly. Reinsert the disc into the player and press "Play" to see if cleaning the disc fixes the "NO DISC" error.
If this still cannot work, you could try some other DVD player program such as Leawo Blu-ray Player and 5K Player.
