I bought the DVD and put it into my PC. I have 2 drives, a regular CD read drive, and a CD read/write drive. I’ve used other DVDs in my PC but this one will NOT register as even being in the player.
Has anyone else had any problems? Got any answers? I don’t want to watch it on my TV – I need it in my sewing room.

Do you have a DVD drive in you Pc OR are they both CD drives?
No DVD will play in a CD drive.
If you have had a disc with movies playing on your Pc then it would be a CD disc formatted with a movie.
I have the "BEST OF" and it plays fine in my Pc DVD drive.

Oh shoot! You are right! My PC is older and I thought the CD RW was able to play the DVDs but when I ordered that new drive - I said Naw. . . I'll NEVER watch a movie on my PC! So I didn't get the DVD player! Ugh. Now I'll have to save up for one. Thanks for your help. I didn't figure it out on my own.
Hi, glad I helped you in understanding why the dvd wouldn't play. You can purchase an external DVD drive/player, which will plug into your pc (ask at pc shop) which will allow it to play dvd's for you. If your old pc does everything you need, then this I feel is the cheaper option.

That's a good idea. I'll compare my options, but my old PC is really old so I'm thinking I really need to upgrade - this is just one more excuse!
Like purchasing a new sewing machine, take your time, do lots of research, check the sales! Have fun, I wish you well. Cp (sydney)
