I am assuming you mean to play a movie/tv show recorded to a DVD+/-R disk
with a burning program. If so, the answer is yes and no. What you need is
the correct codec installed. This can often be accomplished with a software
DVD player software such as PowerDVD. I have Nero installed and it comes
with Nero Showtime which plays DVDs as well as mpeg and avi files.
That said, the specs on your computer are a little "light." You MIGHT
experience performance problems.
