My DVD player on an old laptop has stopped working. Can I use a DVD player and use this cable to plug into my old laptop and download software into it

You will not be able to use the notebook as a display(TV) connecting and attempting to play from a dvd player, although they should physically connect.

Only if it is an external dvd recorder/player, check the compatibility for software version, and operating system supported. Good luck.

The external dvd drive works with a standard usb connection as long your computer has usb port yes it will work

I had a problem with the cable making a connection. The 90 plug wouldn't go far enough into the plug to make contact with the video section. I had audio but no video. Weater it will work for your system I don't know. I was using it on a NAXA mobile dvd player.

Can I use this cable to connect the optical outlet on my dvd player to an HDMI outlet on my TV?

Yes as long as it's connected to a PC running the proper DVD player software. This is not a stand alone DVD player.

Doubt that this will work for you. I assume you are trying to play your VCR and record on the DVD of your laptop? The VGA port on your laptop is an Output, so you cannot feed from the VCR into your VGA port of your laptop.

Yes just get an audio piggy back then another to plug into the piggy back, run one to vice and other to DVD, should work good luck.

You would need a RCA cable, the cord that comes with the dvd player,(red,white,yellow)

I Doubt it. I purchased an hdmi cable to connect my dvd player to my tv. Mine is different from the one pictured. Mine is just a plain hdmi cable.

Probably won't be able to. As others have said you can try searching online and loading onto a USB device or simply installing directly from the web if that's possible. There are several inexpensive external DVD / CD-Roms out there that will do the job nicely. And the good news is the external drive can be used on other PCs/laptops.

I dont' know, but I don't think so. I used this cable the other way round, to connect a DVD player to a computer monitor.

On the newer version, that is correct. You can get an external DVD player and plug it into a USB connector and it works perfectly.

If the computer has an RCA input (yellow/red/white), then you could. Another way to do it would be to get a D-VHS player ( JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder ), connecting via HDMI to the computer, copying that way.

Sure, not a problem. Just run cables from the video, left and right audio outputs on the back of your VCR to their respective inputs on the DVD Recorder.

I purchased a device from Roxio to copy VHS tapes to my laptop and then to burn them onto a DVD, it's a connector and some software. It's pretty seamless, you can copy the tape directly to a DVD or copy it to your computer and then burn the disc. If you have an s-video connector that would be the best way to do it as the Roxio device supports it. I didn't have one but an ordinary cable works fine.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.
