Here’s the wild part: some smart TVs can read DVDs via a USB external DVD drive. Yes, those little white discs can plug into a USB port. It’s not a joke.
Buy a portable DVD drive online (they’re under thirty bucks). Plug it into your TV’s USB port. Your TV will think it’s a giant flash drive. And then—boom—your movie starts playing.
Does this always work? Nope. Some TVs are picky. But when it does, you’ll feel like a pirate who found buried treasure. A very digital pirate. Arrr.
Quirky Fact
DVDs spin at speeds up to 10,000 RPM when playing. That’s faster than a fighter jet engine idling. So don’t drop your snack on the disc—it might fly away.
