And also hook up a DVD player to all 4?
Thanks!

DVD to all 4 - yes.
Splitting a "split" screen only if the original "box" supports it, else you have an external splitter - but then it's likely to be a reproduction of the original else wide and skinny - and you the need to feedback the screen info if (for example) its a gun-type shooting game (as opposed to joystick etc curser-on-screen).

For the DVD how would i splitt the video signal to all 4 tvs? I didnt know if i would need some sort of processor/decoder or something. Im new this stuff. And for the xbox 360..i have no idea if the xbox supports it.. could an external splitter do the job? and how could i program it? or any other ideas on how to do this?

The DVD merely requires a splitter for whatever signal it has - presumably composite.
If the post-splitting signal is too weak, boosting will be required....
For the xbox, you need some frame splitter designed for the job. It'll be interlaced or not, and whatever standard.
If something isn't available, it's probably easier using a camera to view each section, with shutters.....
Get a duel head PC instead.....
LOL! Others may know of applicable products - I haven't 1080 snowboarded for a while (N64!!)

Thanks for the help!! Im not sure what the frame splitter and all that tech. stuff. is but im definitly gonna do some more research. Cuz playing on the 7in screen split into 4 only leaves about 2.5 inches of screen. which would be near impossible for call of duty and racing games. lol. I used to play N64 foreverr way back in the day. MARIO CART

Ha N64 and Mario cart isn't back in the day. The Atari 2600, Donkey Kong, and PacMan is back in the day.

Basically, the xbox can do a 4player split screen setup on a single screen. He wants each of the screens to "zoom" into each quadrant. I've tried this before and the frame lag makes FPS games almost unplayable. LOL. Halo 3 and Modern warefare 2 get very choppy frame rate when playing 4 players on a single box.
