How does a DVD drive work?

A DVD drive uses a laser and an optical lens to read the surface of the disc itself, which contains several pits that contain data. If the laser hits pits, it is a 1. If not, it is a 0. The laser, containing data, comes back from the mirrored disc surface and into the optical lens, reading the information and therefore changing it into graphics, audio, and useful information.
