I'm trying to play a copied DVD on my computer but it won't even show up in
My Computer. It just tells me it's blank, however I watched it on another DVD
player not an hour ago.

Why isn't it showing up?

How can I fix this problem and view the DVD?

All help is greatly appreciated!

Have you got DVD playback software installed on your computer, such as Power
DVD? Are you able to watch other DVDs on your computer?

Software is needed to play DVDs. Do you have any installed?
 
Windows Media player should be just fine, however it depends on what kind of
DVD drive you have installed. it may not support the format that the Movie is
in, check to see what formats your drive supports ie DVD-R will not support
DVD+R and their is a difference between DVD ROM and DVD RAM. laser may also
not be the same alignment as the player, so many if's
 
I have WMP and PowerDVD on my computer.

My DVD player is DVDRAM. It has no problem playing other DVDs (burnt or
otherwise). And it has played on another DVD player, but my computer won't
even recognise data on the dvd.

I really appreciate the help, please keep it coming!
