WMP

MPC

PowerDVD

Check if the disc is dirty or scratched

If you are talking about computer DVD playing, using WMP, that it is quite possible. I cannot use that player on my machine. It show menu, while you hear main feature playing in background - no picture.
Try VLC, PowerDVD, Nero. I use last two, no problem.

You are probably missing an MPEG-2 codec on your machine.

If the menu appears, then a suitable mpeg2 decoder is installed, and not the problem

Try another player such as vlc, gom, koolplaya, and see what happens

If nothing changes Id say the vm commands used in the structure aren't completely compliant

Grab a copy of pgcedit, load the dvd up, head to menu thats affected, and check where that button heads to

Even export the vm commands (info > title commands), save and post for error checking
