If you have an s-video jack on your laptop it's most likely output. Video input on a laptop through svideo is rare.

You'd need to buy a USB video capture box. There are many, here's one by hauppauge http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvrusb2.html

bajtra is correct.

It's a mini DIN S-video OUTPUT. Your laptop screen can't be used a a PS2 monitor unless you have a tuner card or vid cap device.

Since this is most likely an OUTPUT you will be sending the video image of your laptop monitor to your DVD player. Why would you want to do that? Doesn't the Presario V2000 have a DVD drive?
