no dvd playback

Hello, I have installed Vista Beta 2. The install was quite long but it went smoothly. Everything on my PC works nice all but my printer but I was expecting it not to work. I have tried to start differnt Commercial DVD videos, Back to the Future, and Star Trek Nemesis, and they will not play in Media Player or Media Center. Back to the Future comes with Interactual but it won't play them either. The error I get in Media Center is this:
Cannot Play DVD
The DVD may be used by another application. If all other applications are closed, the display resolution may need to be lowred or the display connection type may not support playback of the DVD. For more information please go to Help.
Media player says it is copywrited and can't read. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Dustin

Wrong DVD's!!!
;-) I thought I had them but don't was goign to check on my machine. Any others you have run into the issue with?

Zapper, yea I tried differnt DVDs and none of them work. Ironically I can get PowerDVD XP to run but it is all laggy and jerky and the such. I am wondering if Media Center or any other Vista program can play commercial DVDs.
Thanks,
Dustin

You probably need a codec pack that works in Vista. I have seen comments about that in the TechBeta ng's but I don't remember the details.

I thought the codec was build in. I know I was able to play a few DVDs right out of the box on Vista.
