Advice needed
Hi,

Can someone please tell me what the requirements are to watch DVD's on my PC. I have the drives and software ok but I am unsure if my Video Card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...-7001&CatId=28

or my Monitor (a CTX CRT Jobbie) is up to it or not.

Thanks in advance for your advice

Cheers

Nodnerb2

As long as u have a dvd-rom drive and a software decoder program like PowerDVD, you just pop the dvd in and watch it.

My totally off the wall suggestion. Get the kazaa codec pack and use windows media player or Ultra player.
