I have tried playing dvd's on my pc, and i only have a cd-rom.. it doesnt even read dvds

Answer 1

Unfortunately the player you have has only a composite (Yellow plug) and Y/C or S Video output. It lacks the high resolution VGA output necessary to join the world of computer monitors. The device necessary to allow you to do that would be roughly 4 times the $40 cost of the player. Even then you would have a very lousy picture since the image would be so compressed. It would be like having a drinking straw as the water line coming into your house.
A couple of things: Perhaps your computer can play DVD's. Most now do. Pop a DVD into the drive and see what happens. Also, the cost of LCD computer monitors WITH video inputs are now down below $200 for a 15" model.

Answer 2

well... not sure if u can hook your dvd player up to the monitor itself... unless it has like a S-Video port on it or RCA.Component inputs on it... chances are it doesn't. Also chances are... your computer is able to play DVD's... you should try that. Good luck.

Answer 3

you dont

if your computer is newer than say 2002 or 2003 it should definantly have a dvd player on it, maybe 2004.
