Best Answer

Cd writers can only play CD disks. Cd writers cannot play a DVD disk. In order to watch/burn DVD's on your computer, you must install a DVD writer which you may purchase from computer stores such as Best Buy. A Dvd writer can read/write DVD's, as well as read/write CD's due to it's backward compatibility.
