Hi Diane,
Actually, Windows Media Player can plays DVD's. HOWEVER, what you need to
make this work is a DVD decoder, and by and large these are not free
because the license to the DVD patent holders costs any developer of DVD
decoders money.
You most likely got a disk included with your system if it has a DVD drive
installed, or one came with a DVD drive if you installed such a drive in
your system. This should contain the DVD decoder.
Failing that, I did find one player that claims to play DVD's without a
decoder, however I have not tried it. YMMV.
