Blank green screen playing a DVD

A DVD video made by a business friend does not always play on my HP Media Center m380n computer. Some of the menu items play, but some other menu items just show a green blank screen for the duration of the segment for that menu item.

That DVD plays all okay on a Panasonic laptop and on a Compaq laptop.

All three computers are running Windows XP, but the one that won't play all the menu items is the HP Media Center computer that I bought about a year ago.

I wondered if it was because my HP has a DVD+R recording drive whereas the DVD is a DVD-R. But I used my Sony external recorder (which records both +R and -R) to make a copy of his disk onto a DVD+R disk, and that did not solve the problem. I still get green screens for just some of the menu items.

When I look at what is on his disk it lists the following files in the Video folder:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_0.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_01.0.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB

I have no idea what these file types mean.

Why won't my HP media center computer play all parts of his disk like my other two computers do?
