"require a DVD drive and a MPEG-2 decoder"

MPEG2 decoding might not be provided with the OS. Microsoft says
you need a CODEC that can decode MPEG2 in order to watch DVDs.
You may have installed a separate piece of software, and that
software is reporting "DVD-video as expired".

However, you could look around for an application that claims
to support MPEG2, and do it that way.

if your looking for a free DVD/Movie file player then CCCP (Combined
Community Codec Pack) is excellent, it comes with zoom player and MPC
(media player classic) so far I haven't found a format it cannot play,
it can even play DVD ISO's without unpacking them.
