& what's the difference between blu-ray & normal dvds? thanks
Answer
Blu-ray Discs are read with a blue laser, standard DVD discs use a red laser, that is why DVD players cannot read Blu-ray Discs.
Blue lasers have a shorter wavelength and as such can read more data in a shorter narrower groove. This allows a dual layer Blu-ray Disc to store over 5 times more data than a dual layer DVD (50GB vs. 8.5GB). The technical maximum bandwidth of audio and video combined is 48 Mbps, versus DVD's 10 Mbps. Blu-ray also uses MPEG-4 and VC-1 codecs for video which are far more efficient than MPEG-2, which is the only video codec used on consumer DVD's.
Blu-ray can carry visible resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 24Hz progressive and 1080x1080 @ 60Hz interlaced.
DVD can carry visible resolutions up to 720x576 @ 50Hz or 60Hz interlaced.
Blu-ray and DVD are completely different, so putting "DVD" after the word "Blu-ray" is incorrect.

How can I connect my Blu-ray player to my computer?

Answer
You'll want to connect it to your monitor - not the computer.
Most mid-range monitors come with a HDMI connection which will give you HD video.
Some monitors also have built in speakers, so in that case you're all set. If your monitor doesn't have built-in speakers you can connect the blu-ray player to your surround sound system or to your computer speakers.
Connecting the blu-ray player to your computer will require you to have a HD-compatible video input (most computers have video outputs - but not an INPUT.) You'll have to buy this separately and even then it may not allow you to play HD movies through your computer due to the vagaries of blu-ray copy protection.
Really, just connect it to your monitor.
