Windows Media Player Cannot Play DVD

[alexowens]

Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.

This has been happening over and over and nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas? Thank you!

What specs are you running this on? I'd expect the requirement for an HDCP compliant driver, although anything remotely modern should be.
Could be DRM implementations, or region blocking (potentially) too.

Is this unique to WMP? Ie. Can you use another program such as VLC player without issue?

I recommend you use vlc media player. That one bypasses most random issues media player has.
