In Plain English:

If you have a laptop that has an internal CD-ROM drive, you can take the CD-ROM drive out and replace it with a DVD ROM drive provided you find one that fits your enclosure. However; it still will not run because you do not have a decoder card. That is where this Margi DVD-To-Go card comes in to play. You insert this in your PCMCIA port and this card acts as the decoder card. Now you can watch your DVD movies etc.
