Um, DVD is MPEG-II, not 3. You need a DVD player or a DVD-ROM. If you do 
not have an MMX processor, then you also need a decoder card for your 
DVD-ROM.

VCD is MPEG-I. All you need is a CD-ROM drive and Windows Media Player. A 
24x CD-ROM and 8MB of RAM is defintely excessive for playing VCDs. 

DVDs are read with a higher frequency laser, allowing more information to 
be stored on them. A DVD holds approximately 4 GBs of data while a CD 
holds about 650 MB of data.
