What the simplest way of setting up a PC so you can copy ‘originally purchased’ DVD’s onto the hard drive and watch them through the TV?
My mate who has 3 kids and is on a tight budget has a 6 year old PC with Windows XP on, his tv is 7 years old but has an HDMI output. (basically wants to copy battered kids dvd films onto hard drive)
Would I be correct in saying…
1 – Stick an HDMI card into the PC – connect to TV
2 – Buy a wireless keyboard with built in mouse , stick the USB dongle thingy into the PC?
3 – Stick one of his kids DVD’s into the drive, copy it to the hard drive, double click and watch it via media player? (is it that simple?) I’m guessing not and specialist software is needed to convert? It would be nice to have a set-up similar to itunes where you have the cover of the film and can search through each one?
or get him to save up and just get something like this..
