CD-rom drives can't read DVD, but DVD-rom drives can read CDs.

Windows 98 was supposed to ship with a DVD player application, 
but it was removed for some reason. There are other software 
players, but I'm not aware of any free ones.

I have a hardware decoder card which helps as it allows outputting 
to TV.

Had a quick look at Kikuko's Onee-chan to issho DVD the other 
day. Must find time to finish watching it...

Some highlights:
* Kikuko driving a Mini around in an open, mostly empty car park
* Driving said Mini into a pay car park where she picked a space in 
a corner
* Trying to reverse Mini out of space (long section... ^_^;;)
* Kikuko failing to unlock the door when retreiving Mini
* Kikuko at some temple (Looked like Asakusa?) for a festival 
(images on her web page)
* Kikuko at some amusement park
