You cannot play a DVD in a CD-ROM drive, you need a DVD compatible drive in order to play a DVD.
No. A cd-rom drive cannot play DVD's. A DVD drive can play CDs and DVD's. A cd-rom drive isn't made for DVD's. It's made only for CD's, and it can't write any. It can only read.
yes
it depends. are you using a DVD/ CD player? or are you using just a plain CD player? if ur using the CD player, it wont work because it doesn't have a screen. if your using a DVD/ CD player, it will work just fine. A DVD will not play in a CD-only player -- even a CD-ROM drive that does not have DVD hardware built in. The stepper motors and lenses for a DVD-ROM drive are far more precise than a CD drive, and the CD drive cannot physically read the tiny information on the DVD surface.
Not necessarily. You can have a CD/DVD reading drive that does not write.
Sometimes. There are multi-use DVD/CD drives in some PC's, but that drive must be specially configured in order to play a DVD. Interestingly enough, most DVD players can already play a CD.
Depending on the model and features of the DVD player, some can play CD-RW and other formats. The printed materials supplied with the DVD player will state what formats the player can read/play.
No.
No. The DVD has more bits-per-inch than the CD reader hardware can handle.
no, although the nationality of the devices do not matter you will need a DVD drive to read a DVD
Optical drive is just another fancy name for DVD drive or CD drive and it is usually found in in laptops and computer and is used to play any tyoe of DVD or CD.
Go to my computer. Check your drive there. If it says DVD-ROM then u can play both DVD and CD or if it say CD-ROM then it only plays CD.
