My old Dell laptop with LL 3.6 will play some DVDs but not others. Not sure what's happening.
Usually when I put a DVD in the CD-Rom drive the VLC media player will pop right up.
When I put other DVDs in the CD-Rom it will spin and spin. Then I get a message that there is "no medium in drive".
Can anyone advise?

Some of your DVDs might be regional. Try:
sudo apt-get install regionset
