Problem using dvd sharing for Mac to watch movies of MacBook

Â
I just recently got a MacBook Pro and never having owned one before in my life. I put a DVD and installing DVD sharing for Mac to watch movies thinking it would play and it didn't. A DVD icon showed up on my desktop so I clicked on it and all there was were folders, etc.
I didn't know what to do, is there any effective solution regarding on this problem?
