Question

thanks,

Answer
In electronics anything is possible.  The question always becomes is it necessary, is it wise, is it practical, is it worth the cost and effort, is there a better way to do it......  and so on.

Probably the resolution of the backup system is very low relative to what you would want for dvd viewing.  It may not be a good solution.  Secondly, the interface and data formats may be quite different.

But, a more specific answer would require some research that I don't have time for right now.  Could I ask you to get a second opinion from Ernesto on this same expert page who has hands on experience with these kinds of hookups.....

Got to run.  Thanks.
