What logic says to me is that your DVD plays on a NON copy machine. (your little DVD stand alone player).

But it does NOT play on a computer with the capacity to COPY IT.

So that infers to me at least it has blocking code on it. Or your computer is messed up somehow. It still might be the Avatar disc itself with anti-pirating code on it. Remember, it played for a while on your machine and then "stopped"? If your machine was lacking a decoder, it wouldn't have played AT ALL. What it did was play until it hit the embedded code, perhaps.
