DVD, flip down screen and other nicities.

Well i took the plunge and bought one of those 15.4 flip down Dvd screens from ebay for £125, dunno if it was a good price or not really, theres plenty on ebay but nearly all in Hong Kong,this one was in England so i thought i would have a go,now my problem is what do i get to play the dvd in? i have a split charge system and invertor so 240 volt is ok or should i go with 12 volt, the screen is 12 volt and will prolly be better to not have to use the invertor ...or would it, any input greatly appreciated

Could you use a PS2? They play DVD's. Lots of people have them in their vehicles and there must be loads of kits to convert stuff.

good idea we have one i will look into it cheers!

The only thing is that some of the earlier PS2's (like mine) go a bit wierd if you play lots of DVD's on them. You can check by clicking on the system configeration.
It shouldnt be too much of a problem though as there are loads about and most cheaper than standard DVD players.

I have been looking at these recently, most of the play all formats from disc to smart cards as standard... Although, all the ones I have looked at are 10.4 this is the only 15 I can find, but not a good discription

TBH if it was me I'd be tempted to just go down to Tesco and buy a £17 240v DVD player

Is this or kids too? Xbox's are cheap now (£50ish new) and will play dvds . Also with mods will play them from hard drive also I believe divx films and mp3's. Plus its a games machine when your fed up of films.

Why not build a small form factor PC, you could probably get one in the glove box, or if not then mounted in a box of its own, then you could play DVD's, PC games etc AND get the kids to do their homework while you are away
