Yes, you could use it for that but it is mainly for playback of DivXs or DVDs on your computer. Get a DVD ROM, then you can play DVDs through your computer.

You may need to go into the advanced button on the settings tab of your Display properties to configure it. Quality is very poor compared to your monitor. I would consider it a novelty more than anything. The cheapest dvd player you can possibly find will look 10x better than watching through the computer and s-video cable.
