If the DVD contains a virus, and your computer has its autorun feature turned on, then yes, it is conceivable that your computer could get a virus by just putting the DVD in the DVD drive. Its very unlikely in the case of a commercial DVD, but if it is a burned DVD, I would be careful and make sure you have an up to date antivirus program installed and running properly. There has been instances where attempts by a movie studio to copy protect their product inadvertently resulted in malicious software being installed. Google for Sony Rootkit for more information on that.
