Should XP be able to read (see) the files on a video DVD disk (even if it can't natively play the dvd) ?

I've been using EAC on XP with a Sony DVD RW DRU-510A drive to rip a bunch of audio CD's.  One of these was cd with companion DVD.  I put the DVD into the drive, but file explorer doesn't see anything there.  It just keeps asking to put a disk in the drive when I point it to the drive.  I thought there are a bunch of VOB or VOD files that are visible on a commercial DVD disk.  Should I be able to see some files here?

Yes. The disc seems not to be compatible. Try it in a Blu-ray or DVD player to test the disc. ("Disc" is optical; "Disk" is magnetic)

This drive does have the DVD symbol or logo.  Hard to believe it's over 20 years old. 

I've tried other retail DVD's (not blue ray) on this drive.  As soon as disc is inserted the drive becomes active, windows is putzing with it for about a minute, then it becomes quiet.  In file explorer I click on the dvd drive but all I ever get is a message box saying to insert a disc into the drive.  Does XP need additional drivers just to recognize an actual DVD disc, to see the file system of a DVD?
