Can I insert and play DVDs or digital video discs using only my CD-ROM? 'Cause I think I saw a website referring that it is possible by using a codec or a decoder. Can that work?

No, you will need a DVD ROM at least, I'd be very wary of any website offering a cheap fix for a CD ROM drive.

DVD ROM drives are cheap as chips these days click to see

Mouse is right, it is impossible, they use different lasers to read the disk, a DVD laser is much narrower so a CD laser cannot read a DVD. A DVD player can read Cd's though.

Sorry, this product is not currently available for purchase. This item is not available because we are currently out of stock. Why not search for an alternative product?

Can you search for one within 6 miles of my home ? Please. For security reasons I can't reveal my postcode.
