Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I can recommend this DVD player after doing a lot of research and also trying out a few other models. My opinion is that the 3 best brands of portable DVD players are Toshiba, Phillips and Sony.
But I eliminated Sony because Sony is more expensive and does not include a fast forward button built in. In order to fast forward on the Sony models, you have to use the remote control which is sort of a dumb design.
While Phillips brand has better LCD video quality than Toshiba, and seems better built, the Toshiba has much more functionality. I chose Toshiba because:
-it has AV in (as well as out) so you can plug in a digital camera to display your photos or a video game system to play games. Phillips does not.
-the battery connects to the back and still allows you to set the player down flat on a table. The Phillips, oddly, makes the player rest at an angle when you attach the battery.
-Battery life. Toshiba is rated 4 hours, Phillips is rated 2.5 hours.
-Resume function: if you stop a movie, you can resume where you left off. The Phillips lacks this basic and useful function.
The Toshiba seems solidly designed and came very well packaged. It can read homemade DVD-Rs too, which not all players can do (Phillips can). For the 8" size of the screen, it seems nice and compact unlike the equivalent Phillips, which seems a lot bulkier.
I would recommend this player, it seems to have all the features I want, yet is compact and seems sturdy.

Tech Talk DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media.
