Codecs are necessary to compress and decompress large files like DVD videos. If you want to play DVDs on your Chromebook, you’ll need to install Linux. Chrome OS can read files on these disks if they are supported file formats. This means you can easily open image or audio files in ChromeOS from files on a CD or DVD. However, you cannot play an audio CD or a movie on a DVD, and you cannot write anything to a CD, or DVD. External DVD drives aren’t officially supported on Chrome OS. ^Daphane
