Not one DVD player I've found has a HDMI "input" so this is a dead end.
No make, model of the laptop so no further research here.

So this might be a silly question, but is it possible to connect my laptop to my tv through my dvd player? Both my laptop and dvd player have a HDMI connector, however, my tv is old and doesn't. Would that work or Any suggestions? Thanks! (ps. My laptop is a toshiba satellite and my tv is an old tube samsung and my dvd player is an element HDMI player.)
