    Read Dvd On Cd Drive

    I read somewhere it is possible to read a dvd on a normal cd drive, I think it was using some software. Does anyone know if this is possible or just bull**** . Or do I need to buy a dvd drive?I am wanting to copy dvd onto cdr in mpeg format.

    It's bullshit - buy a DVD-ROM drive...

    They're two different types of media that work at different laser wavelengths.

    The only CD drives that can read DVD's are DVD/CD combo drives....
