Labald33,

This sounds like a driver compatibility issue with the external DVD player. You’ll want to check the manufacturer’s website for your DVD player to download and install the latest drivers available for Windows 8/8.1. Once you have the appropriate drivers installed, you shouldn’t have any issue getting your DVDs to work.

Additionally, you can use the Windows Compatibility Center to check to see if any hardware or software is compatible with your system.

I hope this helps!
