Some DVDs fail to play

[Colin]

My laptop will only play older DVDs, newer releases are not recognised at
all. They do not appear when I look in my computer or in either Windows or
Dell media player. I have attempted to updated the driver but Windows says I
have the lastest version. The troubleshooter suggests a problem with the
decoder, so I have down loaded a trial version of PowerDVD v7.0 but again the
disc is not recognised. Any ideas?

Can the firmware in the DVD player be updated?
