    It won't work, get yourself a set top media player or hook up your PC to your TV. What file types do you want to play(eg MKV, MP4, etc)?

    MOVIEGEEK's answer is correct but to provide more info...

    Can VLC be put on a USB drive? Yes, absolutely.

    Can a standalone DVD player access VLC via anything and use it to play files? Absolutely not.
