Answer #1

Some PC’s have AV outputs (most laptops do), and a few high end TVs have SVGA inputs. Also, some TVs have memory card inputs (as do some entertainment systems). All these are options. If your equipment has none of this, you’d have to buy something to do it.

Answer #2

You can, as long as you have the necessary equipment. I was actually taught this in my ICT course but I forgot (because I never actually used it). From memory (and I have a bad memory) you need a graphics card that can specifically so this job, plus a tv (I THINK most can do it if it has red white and yellow cables) and appropriate ports(on graphics card and tv) and appropriate cables.

You can get software that can download youtube videos and you can put them on a cd or dvd disk. you can fit 4.7GB on a dvd disk so thats A LOT of youtube videos believe me!!! Then once you have downloaded the videos using such software, you can convert them into (insert video type file here) and put them on a disk and play them on a dvd player.

Both ways are annoying as you have to go search for stuff and do your own research on.

Answer #3

I think you can, if you have a video/audio output socket in your CPU and if you have the video/audio cables to go with it.
