I don't have the correct answer, but perhaps I can point you the right direction...

Many folks like VideoLAN.org's VLC Media Player (Open Source)...

VLC (free) should do the job. Otherwise you can purchase PowerDVD or WinDVD...

K-lite codec pack basic. During install enable MPEG2-DVD for use with libmpeg2 codec. Good to go.
