If you can't watch DVD's in Windows 8 make sure that "Media Center" is installed.If your system came without Media Center or you installed Windows 8 yourself you need a separate software (KMplayer for instance)

You need the Windows Media Center Pack (as shown in my previous post).It is not included in Windows 8/Pro and must be purchased separately OR you just download any free DVD software from CNET.com for instance.My preferred player is the KMplayer.
