Cannot play commercial dvds

[iBlob]

Hi My white macbook (running 10.6) will not play a commercial dvd (BBC's Battlefield Britain: Boudicca's revolt ). When entering the dvd into my mac it shows a file called dvdvolume with a red warning circle in right corner of it. No files are inside the folder. The dvd plays on other dvd players.

Can anyone help?

P.S. it's a super-drive if that makes any difference.

do other commercial DVDs play?

yeah i've tested one now and it plays perfectly.

Also the dvd I'm trying to get working has no scratches and is not dirty

So how can I get it to mount, or is it just my dvd drive?

Some discs are not easily playable on the computer. You will probably have to try playing the DVD on another computer, either a Mac or windows. I've had discs that would not play on the computer, but would play on the free standing dvd player.

Yeah just tried playing it it on a Sony Vaio, running vista, and it works fine. I've never had problems playing any dvds before.
