How to Connect an Xbox DVD Drive to a PC

Playing DVDs on your Xbox is a great feature to have, since it consolidates how much hardware you really need for your entertainment system. But sometimes one television is just not enough. Or sometimes there is no television available to watch your DVD or play your video game. It is possible to watch your DVDs on your computer monitor via your Xbox. This way you do not have to have a readily-accessible television, or you can watch/play something else on your television while playing DVDs or video games on your monitor.
