DVD as an industry standard was announced in November 1995 and backed by major players in the CE, IT and movie industry. The first players appeared in Japan in November, 1996, followed by U.S. players in March, 1997. To produce DVD players, one needs to license a range of patents, owned by different companies. A number of these companies (Philips, Sony, Matsushita and Toshiba) have decided to license the necessary patents through one licensing agent. Philips has been selected to take up this administrative role. Matshusita, was the company mainly responsible for the development of DVD as it is today. Philips, one of the first companies to make CD players, was the first to make a DVD player. The invention of DVD cannot be attributed to one person or one company.

The DVD was invented to make watching films easier. Some features of DVDs that VHS tapes do not have are be able to choose to watch any scene of the movie instantly, and extra scenes.
Well now, think about it. CDs were invented years before DVDs, so it's likely that CD drives will not incorporate the advanced technology needed to run DVDs.
HD DVDS are DVDs that can be played on high definition TV players. The regular DVD can be played on any TV and is not in the same definition as the HD DVDs.
You can watch DVDs on any computer that has a DVD player and software for playing DVDs.
