There is a Microsoft solution but its not free, you need to upgrade to 8.1 pro and then add windows media center. Was all free with earlier versions of windows!

Otherwise vlc is a good free option.

No problem here. I just double click on a .mp4 or .avi file and it opens the Video app and plays.

VLC is free...

True but that does not apply to DVD's unless to add the media centre or VLC.

I don't play DVDs on the laptop so I wasn't aware. Just tried it though and you're right
