Maybe the sources I used to follow up on John's comments I used is wrong then gnu but for the record here is the link to one I used

pc world article

and a bit of the text

Windows 8 still includes Windows Media Player, but the new version of the program lacks DVD playback support. If you've yet to take the plunge into a digital-only lifestyle, you could spring for Windows 8 Pro and the optional $10 Media Center Pack (which Microsoft is giving away free to upgraders until January 31, 2013). This is one solution, but I recommend downloading the free and flexible VLC instead.


btw. I'm not trying to push VLC. I just know it as a very good media player on Linux.
