Best Answer

No. A DVD is a DVD, a CD is a CD. The two are cpletely different formats and use different wavelengths, so a CD player is incapable of reading a DVD. A DVD player can read CDs only because it can be made to operate at the other wavelength to read CDs. a CD holds 700 MB / 80 minutes of audio, whereas a DVD can hold 4700 million bytes / 4483 MB / 4.38 GB.
