You need dvd software like PowerDVD.. they usually come with ur dvd cd-rom when u buy it. I think you can also play DVDs using the Free Real player One

well, if you don't have a DVD ROM, that could be a problem...

No, that would be considered downloading a warez as for Realplayer you can go on the site www.realplayer.com and download the Free version of it.

Assuming you have a DVD drive, VLC player is the program I use to watch DVDs. It plays just about anything, and it is free. Do a google search for it.

Well, the main question is do you have a DVD drive? If not, then you ain't playing anything. In this case, you would need a new drive. They are very cheap; you can get them for less than $40, and much lower on eBay.

Nero is a burning program, so no. VLC will be the best bet(Windows Media Player should play DVDs just fine as well).

But judging by the rest of the thread, I believe you may not have a DVD drive. If your computer is more than a few years old, it may not have one. DVD drives can play CDs, but CD drives cannot play DVDs.
