Yes you can do this, with the VGA leads straight from the pc into the DVD player (It SHOULD have VGA "in" on it)90% of newish dvd players have, once it's hooked upto the DVD it will go to the tv through the standard scart/HDMI cable. I'm not sure though about the USB straight from lappy to tv.sorry.

To get the picture from a laptop on a tv you would need to connect the vga to the tv, you could use some kind of vga to hdmi converter.

didn't think of that. On the other hand if it's a newish TV there should be VGA in/out either on the side or on the back..
