What program are you trying to use to view this movie?
G752VY-DH72 Win 10 Pro
512 GB M.2 Samsung 960 Pro
1 TB Samsung 850 pro 2.5 format
980m GTX 4 GB
32GB DDR 4 Standard RAM

Z97 PRO WiFi I7 4790K
Windows 10 Pro

i'm going to use window media player.

That should work, it does in mine, so your saying that Media Center can not find the DVD in your DVD player

Most likely the problem is with Media Center you might want to refresh it. When filters are the problem nothing works with the DVD, But your able to read and write data so the issue must be with the software your trying to play the movie with! Also is this movie on a burn disk or a factory disk? Burn disk can fail sometimes

i'm trying to watch factory original movie. When i put in the disk, the dvd drive will spin for a while, but nothing happen to DVD RW Drive. It is as if no disk was inserted at all

Is it possible that the disk is not from your region? Or that your Region has been set to another region, Right click your DVD drive in explorer, then click properties look on the region tab.
