hi all , i'm looking for a small dvd player to use on holidays so i can play the kids dvds on the tv's in the apartments/hotels we go to. i was thinking of just copying a load of their favourite tv programs , burning them to dvd and taking them away and playing them on a small dvd player which i could connect to the tv in the apartment.
would this be the best way ?
i don't really want a player with a built in screen.
maplin do a circular looking nikkai dvd player with a tiny screen but it can also be used as a stand alone dvd player. what does anyone think?
any pointers much appreciated.

Maplins do a media player fully built so you can load files onto its integral hard drive, with tv/scart out, or a cheaper one that you put your own hard drive into starting at 40 quid have a look here

imcal got one of them a few months ago, i think it lasted 4/5 days before it went back.

the aldi have a portable dvd + 2 7" screens for £99 on sunday. the dvd plays mpeg4 and has a usb port and card reader built in :ok
