I've played the DVD on the computer from the start - the new DVD player/recorder/video player/recorder is very hitec but we can't figure out how to connect it up!
However, the compueter screen ( mine's a flat one with some graphics card that's supposed to be good, is very much easier to watch than the TV screeen, specially if you want to peer at the screen from about five inches away at some moments - now who would do that?
