sounds like you do not have the correct drivers for it. what programs were you trying to use to watch the movie and have you watched a movie on your computer before.
You need a dvd decoding driver. These are often supplied with media players now. If you are running Windows 8 or 8.1, you probably don't have this by default, unless you opted for the Windows Media Player extension. My recommendation for occasional videos is VLC; my recommendation for frequent watching is Kodi.
