How to use external DVD Drive with Laptop that doesn't have an internal DVD Drive

Some USB DVD drives have 2 USB cords and require 2 USB Ports. One for connection and one for power. If possible we recommend getting a DVD drive that uses a regular power outlet or only 1 USB Port so that the USB Port can remain open for other devices.
Note:
?? Bluray DVDs will NOT work with the Advanced Media Player.
