windvd is the software that allows the dvd to be played. you must have it running. scart socket?? im not familiar with this. To watch dvd's thru my dvdrom i use a TV out connection from my graphics card. The TV out connection only allows you to view whats running on the PC whether its a DVD played with windvd or freecell on the desktop.
