It doesn't have an optical drive. You would have to get an external optical drive and connect it via USB

Yes and the machine not only works pretty well but can be used as a DVD player. The only thing I can't figure out is how to use a flash drive in the machine. I download onto the drive, plug it in and can't get the words to show up on the screen. They have been no help with my issue. So the machine works well, customer service not too much help though, I would still recommend it.

Absolutely. It plays any DVD Blue Ray or regular. It also will play Music cds and, if you would be so inclined, will read a disc with pictures and allow you to show them on your TV. It will also allow you to acccess the internet if you have a WiFi modem. If you like you can stream movies from Netflix or Amazon it you are a member. Great piece of equipment!

The DVD could be burned as a data disc. It would not be playable on a DVD console player unless it can read and play back native JPG or AVI files.

Yes If the DVD Player has Video RCA video Output (Yellow connector) or SVGA connector. The speakers (RCA red and white) are low power so the sound will not be so good. Beware It's 800x600 resolution so the image will not be the standard 1080p

Hi Gaius, no, you don't. Regular DVD Players can play converted DVD videos. -Vincent

It can play a regular dvd.... It definitely can play jpg files off of a USB and it can play photos off of recorded disc as well

Yes, no problem, but remember You'll only be able to play it back on a disc drive that will play DVD's.

yes you can...but if it is anything like mine you will have to find software for it to actually play bluray discs

Yes, but I needed to install VLC Media Player from http://www.videolan.org to get it to play DVDs. Contacted LG customer support who gave me this suggestion.

It plays DVDs but I haven't burn CDs or DVDs yet. The machine I got comes with XP operating system with Roxio CD burning software. I hope that helps.

Not that I know of... If you have the video on another device you can hook it up through video input or just watch the DVD if thats what you mean

Don't think that's possible. Pretty sure you need the USB port - plugged directly into my DVD player's USB port.

Hi there - short answer is yes - just hook it up and it'll play any DVD - I play discs from both UK and US on my US TV and they work fine

Thank you, Paul! I have the disc and the "Quick Setup Guide", but don't seem able to play certain DVD's.

No, this laptop is in a class called "Ultrabook," there is no drive for playing CDs or DVDs.
