best dvd player for the computer image
diana c
Well I have a problem with my hdmi connector in my projector, so my projector won't connect to my computer, and I check if the cable was the problem, but I am able to connect my computer to my TV with the hdmi cable, so it is not the cable. So I am wondering if I can connect my dvd player to my computer somehow, then connect my dvd player to my projector with an rca cable or some cable? Is this possible will it display?
-Thank You :)))
Well actually, the projector work with my computer before but now it just stop working it it? So I don't know what happen?
Answer
If I understand you correctly, I believe you are running into HDCP. HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is an anti-copying protocol implemented in HDMI (among others) that requires all devices connected to it to be HDCP-compliant. See here for more info than you wanted to know:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
TVs with HDMI connections are HDCP compliant and so is your computer, but it seems your projector is not (probably a little older, no?). So even if you could run a DVD player into your computer (we'll get to that in a moment) you would still have the same problem. The problems are:
1. Your computer's HDMI is most likely Output only (there are some machines with HDMI input but they have HDCP issues also). So you can't connect the DVD player to it and see its output - unless you have a Video (and audio) capture card (if it's a desktop) or USB capture device (if a laptop, or a desktop).
2. I am confused why you would connect your DVD player to the computer AND to the projector (unless you mean connect the DVD to the computer and from the computer to the projector, which still wouldn't work, even with RCA connections - your computer doesn't have these anyway, does it?).
3. Your best bet, if it's what you want to do, is just connect the DVD player straight to the projector (if the DVD player has the Yellow/Re/White A/V connections).
Does this make sense? Write back with additional details if I have misunderstood or you have more Qs...

Can you attach a DVD player to a computer to play movies?
rae-ann
My CD/DVD player stopped working on my computer (I can't even open the drives anymore).
I have a spare, small DVD player that used to be attached to my TV.
Can you attach a DVD player to a computer in order to play movies on your computer? Or do they only work with TVs?
I realize you probably can't burn things, but I thought just for movies. It would be cheaper than having to buy another external piece for the computer.
Thanks!
Answer
You can if your computer has a TV tuner or video capture card (with the necessary audio and video inputs). Otherwise you can't. Internal DVD drives aren't that expensive anymore, so I'd recommend just buying a replacement.
