    watching dvds from a dvd player on my monitor

    OK, so here's the problem. I've got a dvd player and a computer. Unfortunately I don't have a dvd drive for my computer and would rather not buy one at the minute as moneys tight. So where's the problem??

    My TV died.

    I don't have space for a TV in the flat I'm in at the moment and as I don't watch much TV I'd like to run my dvd player through my monitor.

    The outputs on the DVD player are: Scart, S-video and a phono video connector.

    The inputs on my monitor are: just one standard VGA monitor to computer connection.

    My graphics card: I've got a nvidia/ inno3D Tornado GE Force 4 MX440 8x AGP card. Its got a standard VGA monitor out connector, an S-video out (unfortunately not an in) a DVI out. No inputs though.

    So has anyone got any clever ideas about how to watch dvds on my monitor as cheaply as possible? The only thing I can come up with is to buy a new graphics card but as I've just got this one I'd rather not.

    Help!
