Nope. It should play in any DVD player... its just a standard DVD. Try it out in a computer, or another couple DVD players. It could be your DVD players isn't working, or the DVD is scratched? Also, about .01 % of DVDs coming from the plant don't work, so thats a possibility too. If it doesn't work in any of the players you try it in, take it back to the shop where you got it, or, if you bought it from the Level 1 site call us up and we'll replace it for you asap.
