Yes you can.
There are a number of "RCA to VGA" converter boxes available. For example, if you search amazon.com for a "GRANDTEC GVC-1000 " you can see what I'm talking about. There are also TV tuners with video inputs designed to output VGA signals such as the "Kworld KW-TV1440RNB" ($50 at tigerdirect.com) that would probably be a better choice for you.
If your computer has a DVD drive, you can use it as a DVD player and not bother with a separate DVD player. Your computer probably already has the software on it to do the job, if not, a freeware program called "VLC" (www.videolan.org/vlc/) will play them.
A third option would be to put a TV tuner card with video inputs on your computer. That way you could use your monitor as a TV, DVD display, and use it as a DVR.
