I think the DVD player or app will have to do that.

VLC Player seems adept at this.

I don't understand your reply. It looks like an advertisement. How would a DVD player run a windows setup?

Since VLC PLAYER is free.

Widely written up on CNET I take it you didn't look into it.

The advice is free too. But it looks like you want to pay for this. So go try other Windows DVD player apps and see if they can fix it for you. Then buy the one you find works.

Here I'll go with the free solution.
