Put the disc in the drive.
Launch DVD Player App.

You did not say you lacked a disc player.

USB-2 is perfectly adequate for the data rates involved. But I recommend you avoid Bus-powered-only solutions unless you only need them a few minutes a month. This vendor's page will give you ideas about other solutions:
