My new Wall-E DVD won't play in my computer. Is this a common problem and is there a solution?

I just received the Wall-E 3-disc regular DVD set as a belated Christmas present.

However, when I stick the DVD in the drive, I find that the opening trailers will play, but not the actual menu or movie. Some preliminary googling suggests that I am not the only one to have this problem.

Does anybody know how common this problem is, and whether there is a solution?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Its the DRM on the disc that forces you to watch the trailer at the beginning of the movie and to not be able to copy the disc me and several other people have had the same problem but my blu-ray copy play just fine(and looks amazing) but anyway the main issue if you search online pretty much everyone is having trouble playing the disc on a computer.

What most people are doing is ripping the movie(not copying to an ISO but actually ripping the movie cracking the DRM this is illegal in the USA) to the hard disk(allowing you to watch the movie on your PC off the HDD) which shows that their DRM isn't even working. Even if you make an exact copy of the disc it still manages to copy the DRM and you still will not be able to use it on your PC.

If you want a disc that can play in a DVD play and a PC you have to rip the movie then burn the DVD off the ripped file. And this show how DRM only hurts the consumers because you still can pirate the DVD(which a lot has al ready done), but the real consumer can't even use the real copy.

Beside did your DVD not come with a digital copy mine and most other come with a digital copy that probably the best why to watch it on a PC anyways.

The digital copy is only in 2.0 stereo; I'd like to enjoy the movie on my 5.1 surround speaker setup.

But thanks for the helpful answer and links!

If you have AnyDVD installed on your computer, turn it off when you play this movie. Once I did that, it played normally.
