If you don't have a DVD handy to try in the drive, just look at your CD drive. If it's a DVD drive, too, it should say so on it. Look for a little DVD-Rom logo.
I see nothing wrong with watching DVDs on the computer if you have a big monitor. If you have a laptop, it really only works if you're just one person watching: any more than that and you have to have it too far away so that everyone can see at a not-too-extreme angle, and at that point the screen's so far away that you can't really see anyway. It makes for a great disctraction on long air trips, though!
