Using a laptop as a DVD player... help?

[quote=Insider;59111]So.. I was intelligent enough to figure out how to get the video part of the equation to work. How do I get my tv to also play the sound from the computer?? I don't seem to have an appropriate jack on the pc for any of the cords in my possesion. lol Help?[/quote] You have to get a headphone jack that'll hook up to the sound in back of your television. I have one that hooks up my iPod to my alarm clock if I don't feel like plugging it in directly to the alarm clock. You should be able to find one for a pretty cheap price...until then, you just have to jack up the volume on your comp.

I'm assuming that means I need to check the settings on my tv??

it's not very fun to sit and try to watch a dvd on a small laptop screen. that's all.

Thanks guys. In case you were wondering, we used it to watch Twilight. :)

:D Now we're using it to watch random clips of Robert Pattinson on Youtube.
