short answer: yes! you might have to buy a new video card and TV - but once you have the right hardware, you can make it work.

"not as short" answer: first, you need a computer with a CD-ROM... and of course the movie on a CD as well as the software to watch said movie.

second, you need a video card that that has a 'video out' and a TV with a 'video input'. connect the two using an rca cable - you can get one at any radio shack.

set your video card on your computer to use the video out and set your tv to show the video in.

turn up your computers volume!

you might have to reference the instructions that came with your tv or video card, but as long as you have the in and outs - it can work.

You cannot. You need a device to tell the cd-rom to turn itself on and how to read the information from the disk and where to send the information to be viewed. You may however get a video card that has RCA out and S-video out that can be piped into you tv directly to RCA in or S-video in. You may have to use an adaptor.
