Go to Tools, open Option and in the File Type tick DVD Video (its better to select all files shown there). Of course VLC Player is a good choice, it can play almost all media files. But in order to play all audio and video files, its better to install all codecs. K-Lite Codec Pack is the best one available.
Windows Media Player as default does not come with the codec's required for playing DVD's. There are two options:
1. Purchase some DVD playing software eg. PowerDVD
2. Download free codecs eg. K-Lite Codec Pack
Once either of these are installed you will be able to watch DVD's through Windows Media Player
