best dvd player for the computer image
Is there a way to connect a home dvd player to a computer monitor? If so are there converter cables available or instructions on how to make your own?

Answer
In a nutshell... YES!
More broadly, the method all depends on what you have available...
1. What output(s) does the Player have?
2. What input(s) does the monitor have?
If your output=input, then all you would need is a cable to connect them together e.g. s-video output and s-video input, all you need is the s-video cable (usually the cable is of male-male type)
There are multiple common input/output connectors for these devices:
1. S-video (already mentioned) (both devices)
2. RCA (RF type connector) (both devices)
3. Optical - (both devices - although these are very rare on a monitor)
4. VGA (15 pin connector - monitors only - have not heard of this on a DVD player)
5. DVI (most commonly on LCD, TFT and plasma monitors)
Signals are either anologue or digital in nature so if your output is not equal to your input then you would need to insert a modulator between the two devices so that signal can be converted and this should sort this problem out for you.
You would need to identify the inputs & outputs and check with you local Radio Shack type store and check if there is a modulator for connecting that specific output with that specific input.

How do I connect my dvd player to my computer?

I have an HP compaq presario desktop windows xp computer. My dvd drive is not working. I have an s-video input plug in the back of the computer. Is it possible to connect the dvd player to the computer and watch movies on it?
Answer
No...that S-Video jack is for output only.
