  Then when you click on Video_TS it should play.
  
  Have you checked your AutoPlay settings?

  If it's Windows 8, you might need DVD software. Try vlc.

  Windows 8 has dropped the ability to play dvd's by default since virtually no one used the facility and it allows them to save a few bucks on licensing fee's from what i remember

  I think a lot of people used it - has often come up and had to sort it out for them!

  inside the video ts folder there should be a single file also called "video ts". if u click on that it should start your default dvd player whatever that is.
  
  re above remarks i thought autoplay was working on my own win8 pc ......

  VLC struggles with DVDs with some drives. It takes over a minute to play DVDs in my Blu-Ray drive. I did read that VLC has problems playing DVDs with some newer drives. This might be different to what the first poster's experiencing though.
