How do you know? Do you have a DVD in it and MyDVD doesn't run? Or do you need to point to it by adding it under movie folders in the configuration?

Does the DVD drive appear in Windows explorer?
As far as I know, if it shows there then it should show in MP.
Then again, I haven't got one so don't know for sure and can't test I'm afraid.

May be you are aware of this, but the drive also has to be set up under "Moive folders" in MP configuration.
