I have exactly the same problem. HP Pavilion, Media Smart and not playing DVDs, only data and music. Is there any known solution?

Hello everyone.
I hope that someone can help me out with this. I just bought a new HP Pavilion with Media Smart and i wanted to check out how a dvd looked on it. I loaded in a couple different discs and it just said "No disc loaded into drive. Please insert a movie". A little bar will pop up for a second when i put the movie in, but then nothing. It won't play if i push play. Any thoughts?
I did back up my system and burned three dvd discs and worked fine, so it is not the laser. or at least i don't think it is. It can read CD's and MP3's.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

An update. I noticed that the actual information of the dvd is detected (using an explorer window I see some vob, bup and ifo files inside a video_ts directory).
I tried disabling the autoplay (control panel, autoplay) and tried to play with Windows Media Player and it works. So, something going on with the MediaSmart software. Where does I open a bug for it? Looks that isn't so smart.
