Hello!

I need to make a data projector play a DVD. IT will be triggered by a motion sensor.

What way should I go about it??

I am a total novice!!

Thanks a Million!!

Look at making the Arduino into a remote control for the DVD player. Most remotes use infra red so look in the playground for a suitable project to modify. This will just require an IR LED and maybe a sensor if you are going to record the output of your remote for the Arduino to play back.
Then connect your sensor to the Arduino and when it triggers, trigger the IR LED to simulate what ever command you want.
