How can you connect a standalone dvd player to your PC and watch movies?

Answer
You can:

A) Install a TV tuner card which will allow you to not only plug in a DVD player or VHS player, it will also allow you to view TV on the PC as long as you plug in either cable or an antenna.

There are many different ones but here is an example:

Or

B) You can use a similar USB device, does pretty much the same thing but uses the USB port and you don't have to open the computer

But why would you want to??? Doesn't your PC have a DVD drive?, if not you can install one or get an external USB one.

Answer
No.

DVD players for home theaters are NOT data devices. Find a friend with a working DVD drive in their computer and bring a USB Flash drive. Have him copy the files to the USB flash drive, then use this on your PC.

Will this cord work to connect my dvd player to my computer screen?

MAlloy

It has red yellow and white plugs on one side like the ones from the dvd player that plug in the tv on one side and it has that big blue thing you have to screw into the tv on the other. will this work to connect my dvd player to a computer moniter to watch movies?

Answer
Nope. There are no simple cords that will allow you to connect a composite-RCA source to a computer monitor blue VGA port.

Those VGA-to-composite-RCA cords are intended for video cards with a specially-built VGA port that can also send out a composite signal.

It will NOT work if you try to use it in reverse to connect a composite source like your DVD player to a VGA monitor. You will get no image.

Why not just play DVDs on your computer? Most likely your computer already has a DVD drive built-in.
