The DVD is the next generation CD. The DVD store more data, audo, or video than the CD.

A DVD-ROM drive can be used to view DVD Movies, install large applications, and to access a large amount of files.

Some DVD-ROM drives are capable of writing to DVD, enabling users store and backup anything they so chose to. Some users burn DVDs with videos to be viewed by others.

To answer this question, first I must elaborate on the different drives available.

First you have a DVD-ROM: This ONLY plays DVDs, and nothing else.

Then there are DVD+-RW: These are for Burning AND playing DVD's.

The new DVD burner is a Blueray Burner: used for burning blueray DVDs.

Most DVD drives are also capable of playing and burning CD's also.
