dvd player

[Linda]

Is it possible to attach a DVD player to your computer. My daughter has 
a really small one and I was wondering if it can some how be used to 
play dvds sending the output to the computer? I have a 64 bit machine 
and I have not gotten any of the work arounds to play encrypted dvds to 
function. I suspect I would need to add some sort of card but don't know 
where to start.
                               Thanks
