A laptop that has a DVD drive can cast the DVD to the tv, or you can buy cables to hardwire either device to the tv, if it has the available inputs.
The attraction of Chromecast is the wireless connection from your devices to the tv.

Thanks for asking that question Bob - it was on my mind as well.
We just bought a DVD player that picks up the the local wifi signal and can play YouTube, Hulu, Amazon and I don't know what else.
I'm now wondering if it will pick up anything that is "cast". If so, I might upgrade the camper DVD player with a newer model.
