getting a dvd rom to play a movie

I got a used DVD rom drive and I have it working reading CD roms, but I don't know how to get it to play DVDs.  I tried one dvd and it didn't work. It read from the special pc enhanced section and installed some software, but it couldn't pay the movie.

This is a Hitachi made for IBM (2X).  Is there some special software/driver I need?  I've been having a heck of a time finding any....

- You need a software DVD player like Cinemaster, WinDVD, ATI DVD player ...
- Give more details about your CPU, video card and DVD model

Minimun hardware for software DVD player  :

PII-300 / AMD K6-2 300/350
32 to 64Mo
Graphic accelerator like ATI Rage Pro ..
