The short answer is No. You cannot play CD or DVD videos on a Chromebook directly, for two reasons:
1. No DVD drive: most Chromebooks do not include a DVD/CD drive, and ChromeOS does not support reading optical discs even when one is connected via USB.
2. No DVD codecs: The Chrome OS doesn't support with DVD codecs. Codecs are used to encode or decode a digital data stream or signal. Chrome OS system has many limitations. Only a few video or audio formats are accepted. It supports video formats like MP4, MOV, AVI, 3GP, WEBM, OGV, etc. and audio formats like MP3, AAC, AMR-NB, etc.
