    sounds like it can't find Codec or video card drivers.
    What is your system specs (OS graphics card CPU etc...)

    It might be that VLC (or Windows default player) is looking for a hardware player.

    Check the settings for VLC see what Video Output is set for. Try a few diffrent options and see what happens.

    Do other DVD's work on that machine?

    The error message is a bit odd, but it's possible that the content is encrypted with CSS, and VLC is attempting (and failing) to find a hardware module for the keys to decrypt it.

    There are tools such as DeCSS that might get round that, but IIRC their legality is questionable.
