Do you have any DVD-ROMs you could try?

If Windows is refusing to show you even a directory listing, it's possible that the DVD-reading part of the drive is knackered. With most drives, this is separate from the CD-reading bit, which would explain why that still works.

As I said, try it with a DVD-ROm if you can (a magazine cover disk or something). That way you can establish whether it's the drive, or just Windows having issues with DVD-Videos.
