Does a cd/dvd writer play dvd

[salery]

Hello,
I have just bought a laptop advertised with a cd/dvd writer, does this mean it will only write cd/dvd from downloads and cannot read a dvd disc (movies etc) or play a pc game from disc
Cheers

A CD/DVD writer (or "Burner") will read & write.

It will read/ write DVD discs. It will also run DVD game discs.
