Can You Use Xbox One Play DVDs
Xbox One is one of the most popular video game consoles, which is developed by Microsoft and the successor to Xbox 360. Microsoft described its new game console as an all-in-one home entertainment system. Indeed, Xbox One improved a lot, compared to Xbox 360, especially on DVD playback. Before Xbox One released, many customers asked can Xbox One play DVDs. The answer is yes, Xbox One does play DVDs, CDs and factory made Blu-rays. So, Xbox One is not only a game console, but also a DVD player and home theater center.
Part 1: Play DVD on Xbox One
Like I said in the very beginning, Xbox One has upgraded the DVD playback. But that not mean Xbox One can play any DVD. Before insert the disc into Xbox One, you should figure out whether the disc is under protections, like region code, copy protection, CSS encryption, Sony ArccOS protection and more.
If the disc is not encrypted or has gotten rid of the protection, you can play DVD on Xbox One directly. To play DVD on Xbox One, you will need the Blu-ray and DVD player. There are various methods to install the DVD player app on your Xbox One.
Method I
Power on your Xbox One and connect it to Internet.
On Xbox Home screen, go to Store.
Select Search and input Blu-ray in the search bar. Hit the Menu button with three horizontal lines and choose the Blu-ray Player.
Then press Install to download and install Blu-ray and DVD player into your Xbox One.
Method II
Keep your Xbox One connected to Wi-Fi and say Xbox, Bing to open the Bing app.
When the Bing app appears, say Blu-ray player app to search it in Bing.
Then select the Blu-ray player and hit Install to complete disc player installation.
Method III
Insert a DVD, your Xbox One will detect it and pop up Blu-ray player app page, if you do not have one on your Xbox One.
Press Install on the disc player app details page.
A few seconds later, the disc player app will be installed correctly. After the optical disc player installed, you can put the DVD movie you want to play into your Xbox One and watch the DVD movie on Xbox One.
Part 2. Troubleshoot
Although Microsoft announced that Xbox One can play various physical discs, including Blu-rays, many users reported their Xbox One not working correctly when play DVDs.
If Xbox One shows a message said Can't play DVD: Family settings restrict playback of this DVD when you insert your DVD, you will need to reset parental controls. When the parental controls turned on, your Xbox One cannot play R-rated DVD films. You will have to go to Settings and choose the Adult Defaults option under Access to content and apps.
Similar to DVD players, Xbox One also has region code restriction. If you see Can't play DVD: Wrong region code, you will need to double check the region codes of your Xbox One and the DVD.
Moreover, Xbox One cannot play commercial DVDs with CSS encryption, Sony ArccOS protection and other copy protections. The alternative solution is to rip DVD for playback on Xbox One.
