Yes and NO.
Provided the other computer has some software that will play a DVD and has a DVD Drive - Yes.
DVD's are 6 times the size of a CD. The files are (usually) too big to fit onto a CD disc. You can make a 'mini DVD' that plays for about 20 minutes and has all the functions (menu's chapters) of a full size DVD but they will only (normally) play in a computer. A standalone DVD player is programmed in such a way that it expects to find a DVD on a DVD disc.
It is possible though to create a VCD and also a SVCD. these were the forerunners of the modern day DVD where you could get up to a hours worth of video onto a standard CD disc and it could be burned with a standard CD writer. The quality of those discs are similar to VHS tapes. The Menus though are a lot less elaborate.
Many standalone DVD players will play a VCD / SVCD disc.
