| 155754 | 2003-06-28 03:04:00 | Is it possible to connect a standalone dvd player to a pc, and use it as a ROM drive? What I would like to do is copy my daughters DVDs onto CD so I can send a copy to her fathers place rather than both of use buying the same movies for her. The copying part i am able to do it is just working out how to get the DVD movie onto my hard drive to start with. Thanks |

| 155755 | 2003-06-28 03:31:00 | i assume you want to rip a dvd movie. with a stand alone player you will need some sort of capture card. it may be cheaper just to get a pc dvd drive. | tweak'e (174) | ||

| 155758 | 2003-06-28 12:41:00 | There is no method to connect a stand-alone DVD player to use as a DVD ROM drive for the transfer of data. There simply is no "IDE channel" equivalent available onthe stand-alone player for the PC to connect to. To copy a video stream would require a capture card in a PC, and it would be connected to the composite video output of the DVD player, but quality would suffer a little due to the extra analogue to digital conversions that would occur. |
