Apple Mac External drive not playing DVD

My external DVD drive will play CD, but DVD comes back with the message "not permitted". Have tried multiple DVDs that work fine on a DVD attached to my TV.


MacBook Air 13"

Single out this Issue.


Create an Administrator account, and see if you are able to view these DVDs. You must be an administrator to create user account. So, login as an administrator to create an account.
