Windows media player and media player classic are different software cj. Classic tends to play a lot more formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that and still no joy. I am now downloading a trial version of Power DVD to see if that works. These are proper bona fide DVD things so should work OK eh?
