Uhmm..I don't know about a DVD driver(maybe you meant DVD drive), but a DVD decoder is a program that is needed to play a DVD format film over a certain channel, say PC. For example, you can't directly play DVDs from early versions of Windows Media Player, you need to install a DVD decoder to do so.
A DVD drive, well that's where you put DVD-formatted media on.
