Title: stand alone DVD-ROM player
Post by: tebenets on Apr 11, 2010 at 08:07 AM
sirs,

My dvd stereo component just got bogged down. right now I'm temporarily using my pc as my dvd player. just want to know if there is a way to use my extra DVD -ROM as a stand-alone DVD player. i just don't like to move the pc to the tv as often as i want to.

fyi: my pc is equipped with a DVD WRITER. and i have an external casing for them.


thanks gurus

you can connect your dvdrom to your nmt if you have one. other than that or a pc, i don't think there is no other way to link a dvdrom to a tv

Is this true? With just an external enclosure, all PC DVD ROM drives will work like a DVD/CD player on the NMT?

There's an IDE to SATA converter naman that you can buy.
