    Viewing DVDs on laptop with Windows 8.1
    « on: November 01, 2015, 09:40:15 AM »
    Can anyone kindly let me have step-by-step directions how to view DVDs on my laptop in Windows 8.1?

    If you allow me to be a little more "daring", may I ask you to send me a list of step-by-step directions, not a video, as I am hard of hearing and my memory is a little faulty, unless I view written text which I can easily copy and print for reference.

    The method I was using until a few months ago won't work now, I have no idea why !

    Am outlining the method hereunder for your guidance:-

    1. Right-click on the COMPUTER icon.
    2. Right-click on the DVD icon.
    3. Click OPEN
    4. Click on VIEW > TILES
    5. Open the first file in the list that now pops up with WINDOWS PHOTO VIEWER.

    Many thanks in advance.

    I'd suggest using the free VLC Player. Just be sure not to agree to bundleware check boxes when installing. I use this as my movie player for DVD Movies on Disc as well as digital media files. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

    Have you tried just double-clicking the DVD ? ?
