car dvd players?????

dazedconfu

are these worth it? what are some good brands?

Answer
I have an older model van and didn't want to put the expense into installing a DVD player in it permanently. We looked into portable DVD players but they seemed unstable and would mount lower than we wanted (most of them mounted in-between the front head rests so that people in the back seat would have a hard time seeing the screen) When we were getting ready to drive to Utah with small children we realized we needed something to keep them entertained. Then we found a dual screen portable DVD player and we love it. It is an RCA 7" 16:9 Portable DVD Player with Dual TFT-LCD Monitors. The two screens can be mounted separately and attach to headrests. (We put one on the front seat headrest and the second on the middle seat headrest) The screen is also the DVD player so there are only the two parts with a cable running between them. The nice thing about the one that we bought is that you can take it with you into a hotel room and it will play the DVD on a regular TV and it also comes with video games that can be played either while the second screen is watching a movie or displayed on a TV. (the video games aren't high graphics but are geared towards younger kids, although we had fun playing them too. Some of them are 80's knock-offs like frogger and centipede) The $200 was well worth the hours of quiet (non-fighting) travel time. Good luck!

What is the best recommend dual DVD portable player for car?

Mari

My husband and I are taking our kids to Disney in June, I was wondering we have been window shopping for portable DVD players for the car. Preferably a dual. But for some reason every dual dvd player that we have seen has terrible reviews from other people. Out of chance does anyone have or know of a great dual portable dvd player for the car that you can say works great and really recommend? Thanks in advance.

Answer
My wife and I are lalso taking the kids to Disney in June and I have been shopping for a dual dvd system. I know that as a norm, you get what you pay for but there has to be a decently priced sytem that has good ratings. Keep me updated please if make a decision and I will do the same.

How do you connect a ps2 to a car dvd player?

best dvd players for kids in the car image

Matt

I am going on a trip in my familys holden captiva which has a portable dvd player inbuilt and i was wondering how to connect my ps2 to the portable dvd player. I have heard that you need a power inverter that goes into the lighter, is this correct. And also what cords do you need to plug it into the actual dvd player? Thx if you could help.

Answer
That's just plain lazy parenting. depending on your kids ages plan stops at intervals so the kids can get out, play and stretch. that's better for them and for you.

I would like to add that this is what my family and from come some of my favorite trip memories. take the chance to really bond and have some fun as a family on the way to your destination not just once your there. your trip starts when you leave home not when you get to your destination

How can a I copy a copyrighted DVD with my DVD recorder, not my computer?

5cent Frog

I've found lots of answers for programs to use with the DVD rom in your computer, but I don't have one. I have a DVD recorder that I bought to put my home moves on DVDs. That works fine. I want to copy my kids DVDs so that we can have a copy in the house and in the car. When I hook the DVD player to the DVD recorder and try to make a copy of the movie, it won't let me, it says "DVD is copyrighted" then it won't record. Well, duh I know it's copyrighted, but it isn't like I want to sell it, it's for my own use for a video I already own.

Is there anyway around this? How can I trick my DVD recorder?

Answer
Generally, there are several copy protection measures built into the hardware/software of DVD Recorders that connect to TV's.. It's nearly impossible to do, and it's a waste of time to try it that way. Ususally it involves opening the case, making modifications, and could ruin the equipment.

Instead, invest a good $50-60 in an internal DVD Burner, or $100-120 for an external burner.

Once you get the drive for your computer, you can use the following guide to burn DVDs:

What kind of screws are used in the dvd player of a Chevy Uplander?

kathleen

I need to get something out that a little kid shoved in the dvd player in my Mom's of a 2006 Chevy Uplander. What kind of screwdriver do I need to unscrew the mounting screws in the dvd player? It's right when you fold down the screen on the top part there are 2 rubber things and if you take them out there are screws. But I can't see which kind of screwdriver I need for them.

Answer
GM uses a lot of Torx head screws on the interiors of their cars. Torx is a six-pointed socket headed screw, and comes in several different sizes. You need to use the right size screwdriver to extract the screw.

If you don't have the proper tools, you could cause more damage... It might be better to take the car to a professional shop to have the work done,

I wanted to use portable dvd players so my kids can watch them in the car. I already have one portable dvd player and i was just wondering if i can buy another portable dvd player and some kind of cable to sync them ? or would i have to buy the dual screen dvd players?

Answer
In general the answer is no as those devices are output only.

The cheapest solutions are two copies of the same movie or a portable monitor slaved off one player.

Then again you could do digital down loads on lap tops
