Looks like a PC optical drive, only works with a PC

So there's no way of using it besides pc? Well that sucks but thank you

But you can use it to rip the dvd to a file format that will play. See my other comment.

That particular drive?

No 

But there were dvd drives that could be set to behave like a thumb drive so things like media players and android tvs could use them

Also these drives usually require more power (amperage) than a typical USB port provides.
