A:AnswerIt can be used with a Chromebook but there are some major limitations to using a Chromebook with an external DVD or CD drive. Chrome OS does not support optical disks to let you play music or movies. The primary reason for this is that Chrome OS doesn’t come with codecs. 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
