SOURCE: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a prob
uninstall all the decoders u have installed like, k lite and ffdshow. i solved my problem to this today. i also went to device manager in control panel and clicked on cd/dvd drivs and disabled the one that plays my dvds, in my case it was a blu ray drive, after u have disabled it by right clicking and pressing disable. i then restarted my computer and then when it had restarted went back to device manager and enabled the dvd drive that i had originally disabled and everything worked fine :D hope this helped.

Make sure your default player is not window media player, you need software like PowerDvd which is embedded with the mpeg2 encoder. An alternative software that is not as fancy but works well can be downloaded from the link below:

SOURCE: Why wont my dvd drive
I suggest that you clean it first using some soft of air blower, maybe there is something stuck in there. just make sure the computer is not switched on.
One more thing, take the driver out of the the boot sequence from BIOS if the noise happens when the computer starts up.
Also, check with the manufacturer if it is still under warranty. Sometimes if you have used a shatter, it could damage the drive gears.
If it is too old, perhaps you would want to replace it with a new one because maybe there is drive failure that cannot be fixed.
SOURCE: won;t play dvd movie on windows media player
Download and install VLC, try playing the dvd with this program instead.
Let me know if it works.
