A little common sense would dictate that a DVD is not going to play in "just" a CD player

just kidding 
to original poster, just buy a $15-20 DVD Burner, you'll retain all your CD Burning capabilities, CD Reading, & gain DVD Burning plus DVD Reading abilities with it, uninstall the old CD burner, & put the DVD Burner in its place.
very easy to do. if need help, post back.
