Win media player 8 plays back DVDs, but it sucks- the controls are, well, practically non-existant. You can't rewind/ ffwd except to the previous/ lnext chapter.
Personally I use windvd from intervideo (came with the laptop.) If you don't have that, look on the web for some freeware media player, you can bet there will be a few decent ones about.

Re: OT: What do i need to make Win Media Player playback DVD ?!
I did a search one time looking for something to let me "grap" frames from my DVD player (found it!) and noticed a lot of freeware/shareware players, I think. Unless you just want everything in one program, there's a suggestion.

The only free media player that I know of that plays DVDs is VLC. Go to:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
It will also allow you to multi-steam the DVD over a network (Way cool)
