Windows 10 won't play dvd

[dougibrahim]

I've searched all over and found that the best solution for Windows 10 removing the media player is to use VLC but I've always used VLC and everything was fine until the upgrade to windows 10 and now VLC won't play videos. I get the same error as noted elsewhere in this forum VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///D:/'. Check the log for details. No one seems to have posted any replies to solve it. I've deleted the VLC folder in appdata folder. I've reset videolan preferences and cache files but still get the same error. Anyone have a solution for this yet???

When you open dvd, from "Open Media" dialog window, enter "D:\" for "Disc Device". If your DVD drive is not "D", change it accordingly.

VLC is one of the free software DVD players that ignores DVD region coding on RPC-1 firmware drives, making it a region free player. However, it does not do the same on RPC-2 firmware drives, as in these cases the region coding is enforced by the drive itself, however, it can still brute-force the CSS encryption to play a play a foreign-region DVD on an RPC-2 drive.
