The DVD is in beautiful condition, as I've only used teh dvd ONCE.
Even if you used the dvd once it could still need cleaning. With a cotton piece of cloth, gently clean it; start from the center and move outward.
Can you play other dvds that have the same region code as your Sex Pistols dvd at this computer? If you bought the dvd from Japan, it would have "code 2" which won't work at a computer that's sold at US or at some other countries. Take a look at the dvd's back cover to see which region code it has. And compare it with yours:
Code:

You can try removing the regional code and ripping the dvd to your computer with AnyDVD or a similar program.
Also I recommend Media Player Classic. I think it's even better than VLC.
