Windows 10 Can't play dvd videos in Build 9860

I have Windows media Player and VLC installed, but non of them can play videos, regardless of whether they are home made videos or retail movie dvds.

So, what do I have to use without paying for it ?

Update..................

The VLC I had was installed from Windows Store. It did not work.
I uninstalled it and went to the web, found the 2.1.5 version, installed it and it worked fine.

Actually, MS has warned us that Win 10 TP will not play DVDs on Windows Media Player.
There is a section on Important notes:
(excerpt ) After you install the preview, you won't be able to play DVDs using Windows Media Player.
One will have to click a few links before one can see the warnings.
But that's besides the point.

Now I am updating my question......
If it is so easy for the Win 10 system to accept VLC, a 3rd party application, why is it so hard to accept Windows Media Player which is a MS product ?
Nuts.
