Can portable DVD players really take the temperature extremes of car use? They sell lots of portable DVD players with straps for hooking to the back of carseats - but can these players really handle car interior temperatures. In the winter, temperatures could be subzero, would the LCD freeze? In the summer, with the sun beating on the car, the temperature could be 150 degrees f. Would anything melt? Are these things really designed to take that?

Are there any portable DVD players with included TV capability? The multitude of portable DVD players on the market are usefull only for as long as one has an unseen DVD. Unlike the usually bulky presentation of portable TVs, the slimline DVD make them readily inclusive in baggage, briefcases and workbags of the mobile populace. Many people, including travellers, road warriors and shift workers are often "out of the loop" with current events due to occupational or other considerations. TVs provide the link when available. As the major componentry of DVDs -- screen, audio, power supply -- are in common with TVs, why is not a tuner and aerial included? Alternately, are add-on convertors available for any compact mobile DVD players (or even laptops)?
Why Is My Portable DVD Players Volume On the Fritz? I bought A used portable dvd player used and it worked perfectly. Then I let my sister borrow it and the volume started going out.

Are there any portable DVD players with USB ports? I don't want to have to burn all of my Xvid and Divx videos onto DVDs, then lug the DVDs around with me. Are there any portable DVD players that have a USB port or some way to attach an external hard drive? Are there any that have hard drives on them? Right now, the only solution that I can find is the video iPod, but I'm looking for something with a larger screen and preferably something with a power cord so that I don't have to worry about charging the battery every few hours. Debby, I am doing the same as you right now. I have a laptop from work and I am using it as a portable DVD player. The only problem is that I am technically not supposed to be using it for recreational purposes. If it comes to that, I'll bite the bullet and pay for a laptop. It just seems to me like there has to be some sort of portable player out there that retails for less than a new laptop

Can you help me choose a good portable DVD player? I am looking to buy a portable DVD player for a long car ride. I am looking at the portable players that have two screens. I saw one at Sam's Club. You can use it so two people can watch the same movie on two screens, or each TV can be used separately. I might just end up getting two separate units, one for each child. I have owned an Audiovox portable DVD player in the past, and it broke a few months later. Are there any other good brands out there? Do anyone of you have experience with the two screen type? Thank you!
