    Dude... CD-ROMS cannot read DVDs. The laser in CD-ROM devices are only able to read CDs. To read DVDs you *need* a DVD drive.

    If that worked, no one would buy DVD-ROM drives. Since most people tend to be skinflint cheap and pirate any software that doesn't need a dongle, they likewise won't pay money for hardware they don't need, and DVD-ROM drives would sit on store shelves until they turned to dust.
    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."
