I'd just like to watch a DVD using this product, but cannot figure out how to play it on my computer. How can I do this?

Janae, as long as you have some kind of Media Player for DVD playback, it should work. Jeff and Ken H are correct as they use Media Player. I sure hope we answered your question. Happy New Year.

This unit is not a Blu-ray player, if you are trying to play a Blu-ray DVD than that is the problem. This unit will play conventional DVDs, all I did was inserted a DVD into the player and it launched Windows media player, I'm sure you can use any media player that you want to use that will play DVDs. If nothing else you can go to the windows menu and click on my-computer and find the icon that represents the player and double-click on it and you should get a menu of possible programs to open the player and click on one of those, one should be Windows media player and any other media player that you have. But it will not play Blu-ray DVDs. This unit is not a Blu-ray player, if you are trying to play a Blu-ray DVD than that is the problem.

Under the start menu, go to Computer. You should see a heading saying "Devices with Removable Storage." Double click on the Buffalo icon under that heading and if you already have a dvd inserted, click play using Windows Media Player.

I have yet to even get my DVD player to work, so you have exceeded what I can do. I should ask how you got yours to work. ??? I haven't even been able to get an answer from RCA.

You just plug it into the USB port in your computer. You should have received a USB cord with your play.

I do not think you can. I do not know any DVD player that gives you that option. You would need to purchase a Chrome cast.

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.

You can youtube a how to video for the machine. That's what I did. Our DVD that came with it didn't work either.

Unfortunately you can not hook it up to a DVD. You have to use a VCR. I have alot of experience and I could only get it to work with a VCR.

Dear Nick, We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble using our product. We also apologize for the download page not working correctly. We found a small glitch, but it's been fixed now. First, we recommend that you re-insert the CD into the CD/DVD driver on your Mac to try once more. If you are still unable to read the disc, you can also download the installation files from the web page. Select the "Download" tab and click the "Download" button to download the installation files. - http://www.honestech.com/main/VIDBOXforMac.asp Thank you, Honestech, Inc.

If you want DivX/XVid playback consider the Philips range of DVD players. The model I have has a USB slot up front - great for loading up something from your computer on a flash drive and enjoying it on your TV minutes later. Another interesting thing you can do is get an external hard drive (formatted to FAT32) and plug it in through the USB slot - it will read like normal like a giant flash drive. That's really awesome when you think about it!

I do not know if it will play these disks. I have never tried to play any type of audio disc on it, only out of region DVDs is all I use it for.

As far as i know you can use downloadable programs and software such as vlc media player which allows you to play a dvd regardless of the region.p.s Im not a computer wiz when it comes to dvds but im sure with a few minutes of research you can come up with your answer.VLC Media Player-( http://www.downloadster.org/lp/vlc-player/354/?_u=8lgn9qing2ajg83bhfvbh70bappahscpb17bum2a2ko2lp9rs331-28238245d0382006e38babdfc4b8d8f6 )

Hi,It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

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

I also need help here. I just bought a DCR-DVD108 and I use apple. I can't figure out how to import the video.

All I know to say is try it. It works with USB to hook to my computer. And I can put a DVD or CD into the computer and play it. I don't have an external drive.
