Answer
Sadly, they took out the DVD playback in Windows 8 so you can't use Windows Media Player for that anymore. Kinda lame, I know.

Search his PC for other playback software like PowerDVD or WinDVD or just download VLC and play your movie that way.

is there an attachment for a portable DVD player for games?

person with portable DVD player wants to do puzzles or play games on it

Answer
If your portable has standard a/v inputs, you can hook anything up to it that you could hook up to a television. Maybe the reduced-size PlayStation One would be a convenient size to carry around with you, and thereâs certainly a huge variety of software available for it. You'll need a power supply for it, which is no problem if you'll be in your vehicle with a cigarette lighter. Just get one of the power inverters below. There are also battery packs available for PSOne.

There are also increasingly video game controllers which have the game software built in. All you need to do is plug them into your portable and go. I've listed several below.

If your portable lacks a/v inputs, you're pretty well out of luck. There are a few DVD-only games around, but not a wide variety, and the don't have high replay value because all you're really doing is watching clips from the DVD over and over again. Still, I guess they're better than nothing.

Good luck!

Portable DVD player loading problems?

lost in tr

I have an older model Magnavox MPD720 that actually broke only a few months after purchasing. I have no receipt and I am not even sure where I got it from, but I was hoping to get it fixed. It spins for awhile making a grinding sound, then stops, then starts again. It just says loading the entire time. I did get it to work once, but it made the loud griding sounds the entire time and skipped a lot. Any recommendations? Besides of course getting a new one, If you don't know how to fix it, then do you know where I can take it to get it fixed? Thanks!

Answer
Sweetpea, I was in the business a long time, and can tell you that the shop labor cost to repair your player will exceed it's replacement value, it's the same with most all electronics today. Sorry.
