can you hook dvd player to computer?

You can buy a video conversion kit if you don't already have one. You can hook up your DVD player or cable box to one end via composite cables and your computer via USB to the other end. But it'd probably be cheaper to just buy a new DVD drive, which you'd need anyway. If you get an OEM drive from Newegg or something, it'd only be $20-25. And even if you don't know how to install an optical drive, I'm sure if you ask around, you'll find a buddy who can.

You can also rip off of Hulu, I guess.
