Dvd how can i watch a dvd from computer to tv

That question is a bit vague! If you mean watch a DVD video on your computer, you just put it into your DVD player and it should start.
If you mean watch a catchup TV program just Google the channel and program you want to watch. When you start, it should start running straight away, or give you instructions what to do
If you need something else, come back and ask!

Hook the DVD to another TV set, this will prove if the player is the issue or original TV

How to Transfer video from Sony Handycam CCD-TR416 to DVD - You need a DVD Recorder / Player, connected to your TV. Then using the audio / video cables from your camcorder, connect them to the TV as well. Turn your TV on so that you can watch the video out from your camcorder and then select the record button on your DVD Recorder / Player. Then you have a DVD that can be watched in any DVD Player or Computer with out any compression. This is how I transfer my camcorder tapes to DVD.

Hook up the cable wire that comes directly from the wall to the dvd recorder's in connection, then get a 3 ft cable cord and connect from the out of the dvd recorder to the in on the tv. You should be able to set the dvd recorder channel and timer and leave it off. you then should be able to have your tv on and watch any station but to watch the tv with dvd recorder on, your tv should be set to either channel 3 or 4 depending on the switch on back of dvd recorder. I hope this solves your problem. Foxpaw13

it may be that your dvd player may not be able to read dvd+r discs. not all do ,please check your dvd player has the capabilities of reading dvd+r discs.

i.e have you ever watched a dvd+r before on your dvd player?

if it does try getting the model number of it.

it sounds like you need a mpeg codec to play dvd the software you are using doesnot need that to play dvds but windows does you could try a software like power dvd 6.0 this have a mpeg driver included windows can use.then media player can also play dvd using the codec from power dvd

Here's what's happening... software companies like CyberLink subscribe to the Macrovision requirements for playing DVDs and protecting copyrighted materials.

Macrovision has approved numerous video cards for what they call "TV Out" which allows the movie to be displayed on your TV.

Unfortunately, your Dell Inspiron does not have a Macrovision approved and supported video card in it, so it gives instructions to the computer to disable TV Out and not allow it to play anywhere besides the computer.

> jfthr - Tv convertor boxes transfer digital signals into ANALOG. So when it goes to the dvd recorder it IS ANALOG. I have my antenna hooked to my convertor box, the converter hooked up to the ILO (A/V connections) then, the output on the ILO to the input of my analog tv. (Video selection on my tv). It works great to watch tv and/or record. I switch to the "DVD SOURCE" to watch dvds. Maybe you have the conv box hooked to the tv then the outs on the tv to the dvd. That would explain why you can get a picture but not watch dvd? The ILO has to go between the box and the tv in order to watch dvd.

First of all, if aa prompt comes up, choose last known good configuration. If that doesn't work, you'll probably need aa recovery disc for the computer

Yes. DVDs are easy as you probably already know, you just need a DVD capable drive and appropreate software to play. VHS tapes are another matter altogether. You'll have to purchase something that will convert the analog signal from the VHS player to a digital signal your PC can use. I have a device I use to convert VHS tapes to DVD (ADS technologies) I could use to watch tapes but the software leaves a lot to be desred.
