Is there a program to read dvd's in a cd-rom???

No, you would need a DVD-ROM drive.

Not to thread-jack, just to supplement:

But if you have a dvd rom drive... then could you burn video onto a cd? what software could you use?

Nope!

The only cool things I've read about CD-RWs is that you can get firmware patches that allow you to burn CD-Rs 4-10x faster than you're supposed to be able to. Never did it or know anyone that has, unfortunately.

It's a physical difference in the media itself (cd or dvd) that makes it so a CD-ROM can't read a DVD. DVD-ROMs are designed to handle CDs though. Which is a long way of saying:
