A Question About the Movie Novem That Will Go Unanswered

Why unanswered? Because the odds that there is someone out there who could answer this question are astronomical. Are there any Macbook users out there who have had trouble playing the DVD for the film Novem in their Macbooks? I’ve tried two copies from Netflix and one from the library and not a one of them even started spinning in my Macbook. They play in non-computer DVD players that I have in my house, and every other DVD I have ever tried has worked in my Macbook - but not this one. (I’m only interested in comments from people who have had the same trouble - not in troubleshooting comments generally. The evidence doesn’t indicate a trouble with the drive.)
