Lillian,
I'm not familiar with the extensions you mentioned but I also don't do much in
the way of watching videos on my computer. If you don't figure it out you might
be better to contact the Microsoft disability answer desk. It's possible that
you might require an additional program to play these particular files but
that's just a guess. The reference you're encountering to the store refers to
the store for Windows 10 users to purchase apps, books, TV shows, etc.
Essentially, Windows 10 has its own store, similar to the app store for iOS
users.

Hi, David;
After I insert my music dvd in the c-d rom tray and close it, I go to my
computer and arrow down to dvdrw then hit enter to open that drive. Next it
tells me there are three files on it. 1 is audio and it says "empty folder"
2 says video. 3 says something about burning files onto the disc, which I
don't want to do. So, the only obvious choice is the 2nd one. When I hit
enter on it, it named a list of things with weird letters and words with a
dot or period in their middle. They begin with "video ts. My screen reader
says "files on this disc" then , "video ts.bup, video ts.ivo and video
ts.vop. Each one of those extension things announces how big the file is in
kilobytes. The first is 14kb. The second is the same exact amount. The
third is much larger, having 114kb. When I try to select one, it asks me how
I want to open the file. One is "look for an ap from ap store" which I think
refers to playing on an I-phone. Next, it says "link for more options. I
entered there and got a list of suggestions. One is Windows media player. I
tried that. It goes to my library, or starts playing Victor stream audios
from my documents, which are mp3 files. I tried the Adobe but that talks
about documents and asks me to choose color contrasts. Then it told me it
can't play the disc because it thinks it was sent to me in an email, which
isn't true. It also lists IE and Itunes. Don't I have to open those first
before hitting enter on either selection from the list? When I first
inserted the music video disc today, my screen reader said something about
automatic playing but didn't give that as an option to choose. Very weird,
this business. If I choose I-tunes, might it ask me if I want to buy it? I
already bought it from the company making and selling them. I'm not sure
what IE will do. Should I try one or both and see what happens? Thanks for
your help. Take care.
Lillian
