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 play Laptop Burned DVDs on Home DVD player?
lee o7
I have burned films onto blank DVDs on my laptop but they will not play on my home DVD player.
All helpful advice is much appreciated.
Answer
its because the dvd player your using doesnt support the type of dvd your using. (dvd-r, dvd+r light scribe) just to name a few, you should try a different type of dvd, or it might also be the format of the movie ( mpg, mpeg, avi, mov) if switching dvds doesnt work, then try switching formatts with a converter, the easiest way to tell if its the dvd or the format without buying dvds is to put a store bought dvd into your computer and riping it ( you will need a decryptor cause without one your computer wont play the dvd) and then burning it to one of your dvds and try playing it, if it doesnt work then it is your dvds if it does then it is the format of the movies good luck
