you never have said what you intend on doing with this, and no " hooking it up to my computer" does not tell us anything. But I assume that you mean record/ watch video from you dvd player on your pc.

If so your are going to need an internal tv tuner card, it requires a pci slot and does not use a drivebay, range from 20-??? dollars

if you used creatives thing it could work with tweaking. might have loss of sound. probley wont work the same way, my guess with tweaking you could get it to play a dvd but youd probley only get left/right stero output. possible loss of picture quality. but it could possibly work (just an idea)

try reading and quoting the entire sentence.
yes i read the whole sentence, i just wanted to Blatantly point out the fact that it did have video input when you said otherwise

Personaly, I'd think that hooking up a DVD player to your PC was a stupid idea. The quality loss you gett is quite high. You are far better playing DVDs on the PC.
yeah iv just been questioning buying another dvd rom though, thats why i wanted to exhaust all options before doing so. I cant seem to solve that video lagging problem, even with irc closed in the background it would lag while using a dvd rom. its pritty much the only reason why i havent gotten another dvd rom and wanted to look at other options
