DVD players at wallymart are less money that VGA to TV or other conversions. You are welcome to re-research this, but I hope to shorten the time you will invest here.

I have a laptop with a dvd player, but I don't have a regular dvd player for my tv. I'm wondering if there's any way to play my dvd's on my laptop and view them on my tv? My laptop does not have an av port or an s-video port. It only has USB and Firewire.
