yes you can, if the DVD drive is a\nPhilips 5016G\nToshiba SD-M2012\nSony DDU1615/B2s.\n\nProbably there are more drives they can.

Still using a CDRom drive?? It's time to upgrade to a DVD Rom and start watching DVD movies on your PC.\n\nIf they are AVI or MPEG files convert to VCD or SVCD format. Use TMPGenc Plus media files processor. \n\nNero Burning Rom will burn CDRom disks to suit the VCD/SVCD format.\n\nBut why bother? VCD has the lowest end in terms of viewing quality! SVCD is OK but u are grabbling with disks.\n\nYou are gonna end up with 2 disks for VCD and 3 - 4 disks for SVCDs, but they will play on your DVD player on your home TV.\n\nIf your movie files are in Xvid or Divx format, simply burn as DATA onto CDRom disks. Xvid or Divx are approx. 600mb plus sized.  You can only view them on a PC. Alternatively, there are Xvid compatible home DVD players on the market now.

Some of the new burners are able to burn dual layer cds and dvds also...

The subtitles are in the software not the hardware.\n\nI would doubt there is any DVD which is set up in the software to display subtitles the way you suggest so that would make it impossible for the hardware to do what you want.\n\n///

the answer is yes, a dvd drive can also play cds.\n\nBUT - you say you're not computer savvy. do you know what dvd drive you have to buy? it's not that easy to install a dvd drive in such an old computer (the thinkpad 600E is pretty old). either you get one with the caddy, then it's easy to install or you get only the drive, in that case you have to remove the cd drive from the caddy and have to build in the dvd drive.\nbut there is probably a further problem - it's possible that the dvd drive will not be recognised by the computer, then it's necessary to upgrade the BIOS.\nthe good news for you is - it should work. i just found an offer on ebay, a thinkpad 600E with dvd drive.

Just check in case u have DVD burner. You may same some money in buying external hard disk by writing the data on DVDs.

Regular dvd-rom drives ussually don't read DVD-RAM...\nif your disc is type I, a regular DVD-RAM drive is required to play it, but if your disc is either type II, type III, or type IV, you will need a DVD-RAM drive for "Cartridges"

You need playback software that is capable of decoding MPEG-2 video.\n\nIf you are on Windows, Windows Media Player 10 can play your DVD for you.\n\nOtherwise, consider WinDVD or PowerDVD for playback.

Actually, most DVD drives will handle faster discs, and will just burn them at the lower speed.  But, if you're fixed on getting 4X DVD+R blanks, you might try going to Newegg's website and ordering them from there.  Here's a link for you and you can go from there:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010100071+1087408097&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=71

Use dvd shrink to fit your dual layer movie onto a single dvd.  Use Dvd decyrpter to burn it, both free.

Use WinISO available at http://www.winiso.com/.\n\nNOTE:\nTo open ISO files you never need a DVD driver.

not on a dvd drive, it has to be a dvd (re)writer. dvd writers can handle both, CDs and DVDs.
