Am I right in thinking it's possible to send a DVD through PCTV cards
somehow?

Yep, get a S-Video or composite video cable and a twin phono to 3.5mm
stereo jack cable (or possibly a SCART to S-Video / composite video /
3.5mm stereo jack). Plug one end into the DVD player, the other into the
TV card. Select the appropriate option(s) in the TV card software and away
you go.

The results will not be as good as can be obtained from an RGB or Y/Cr/Cb
connection, but should still be acceptable.
