No general computer / pc forums anymore?
Anyway..
Possible to connect a TV's built-in dvd player to a PC? Via usb maybe? Guessing I'd need the pinouts?

Tom's Hardware is where general PC questions are asked: www.tomshardware.com

Most TV DVD players don't have an output port.

Aha, so wrong..ish site.. Tho i see that site has general electronics too? Why the separate site?
Yea i meant doing an adapter kinda thing. It has cables coming from it (obvioisly) and is basically the same tech.. Just a dvd player. I figure it'd just b a matter of matching pin to pin, wire to wire, like normal adapters.. Tho this is of course not normal as they are some type of ribbon cables

TH and TG are just a bit differentiated now. TH focuses on PCs, while TG focuses on "tech", i.e. smart devices, drones, phones, etc. There is minimal overlap now.

Why do this? There are probably 6 easier and better ways to do whatever you are thinking of doing.
