Anybody know how/if I can hook up a DVD player to a computer monitor? Specifically I want to hook it up with TV Guardian, will it still work with a computer screen?

the computer monitor probably is a "VGA" input, some newer ones are composit or other HD type connections. the short answer is probably not. at least not directly. you will need a NTSC (RCA/SVid) to VGA converter.

Yes they are available. I purchased two of these

a few months back. GREAT. I have a Dreamcast hooked to one and 15 inch monitor w/speaker for Grandkids. the other I have VCR/Cable hooked to a 19 inch dell montior and a PS1 hooked to the Line in on the vcr

Both work great.

On the above website they are listed as $99 but thanks to EBaY

I purchased mine for $15 each.

What you are looking for is VGA Up Converter

so same answer as mine - no, unless you buy more hardware.

Or it could be answered Yes If you buy the correct hardware. LOL

Thanks for your help guys! Both of you, but thanks to Billy for giving this clueless girl a more detailed response.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. *here's where I reveal how much of a weirdo I am*

We decided not long after we got married to not have a TV in our house. We can't control what comes across it at any point in time. So we just have the Mac and watch DVD's on it. But there are a few movies I'd love if not for a coupe curse words... so I want TV guardian but no TV! LOL!

I'll let y'all know how it works! It will take awhile because I want to buy a big monitor for this purpose.

Thanks again!
