Hi,

The 'ps2 fitting' is an s-video output. If your TV supports s-video,(you will have a similar plug on your tv) then all you need is an s-video cable.

There should also be an RCA output on the back of the card (small yellow female output) that you may use instead of the s-video.

Plug you choice of connection in, and power up the computer, (after you might have to go into display properties and select your TV as the output source)

As for watching dvd's, I think you can, if your cd-drive supports dvd's, yet i'm not sure if the playback will be as good as one with a hardware decoder.

hope this helped somewhat.

BTW, try doing a forum search on this topic, there are a million posts with the same question.
