Panasonic DVD-LV65 5-Inch Portable DVD Player
The Ultimate Portable Multimedia Entertainment
This is the most amazing portable entertainment device I have seen this year, other than the Apple Ipod.  It combines the best elements of a portable DVD player and a portable MP3 player<br />Highlights:<BR>1.  It plays EVERYTHING - DVD, VCD, SVCD, MP3 CD-ROM, JPEG files, even MPEG4 !!!<BR>2.  It handles almost ALL CD/DVD medias:  Audio CD, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, CD-R, CD-RW, and SD memory card.<BR>3.  It is the SMALLEST portable DVD player with the Li-Ion rechargeable battery attached.  Light and easy to carry<BR>4.  Excellent picture quality<BR>5.  A screen that can flip 180 degree and can collpase onto the player itself with the screen facing upward.<BR>6.  Excellent navigation on MP3 - it utilizes full screen area to display tree-structures of folders containing MP3 files - select the folder, and select the song you want to listen to.  Plain and simple.  <BR>7.  Excellent sound quality<BR>8.  Excellent construction<br />Room for Improvement:<BR>1.  An simple LCD screen displaying battery remaining, track number, elapsing time, etc. would be helpful although given the small size of the player this would be difficult.<BR>2.  The controls are hidden when you close the lid.  You can use the wireless remote control though.<BR>3.  Cannot walk around (forget about jogging) with this player.  No shock buffer for MP3.  However, you don't want to run around with a...player anyway - that's not what this player is design for.<BR>4.  Battery life too short - 2.5 hours on DVD (granted the battery is TINY)<BR>5.  Cannot find a replacement battery yet (for long trips)<BR>6.  Does NOT display ID3 Tags - However, as long as you burn your disc as ISO level 2 it can displays up to 16 characters of the file name.<br />Bottomline:<BR>...this player is a steal consider how much it can do in a package that's slightly larger than a portable CD player.<br />Did I mention that other than playing DVD, it also plays SVCD and displays JPEG files?
