Liquid Video Portable DVD Player (LIDM830) (LIDM830)
Great player at this price
Got this from C.C. for (...) and that's hard to beat for an 8\\" player (at least for a few more months).  So far I am quite impressed.  I bought this to play other formats since playing DVD movies should be a no-brainer.  This thing plays all MP3's and JPG's on any of my CD-R's or CD-RW's !!.  (I tried this on an 8\\" Mintek and it choked every time).  It was quite handy being able to watch a movie, (on battery power) while we slowly froze, during the 36 hour power loss before Christmas.  Then I really impressed all the relatives at Christmas when I used it as an electronic picture frame to show a bunch of pictures from the family albums (JPG's on a CD-R).  Then when my brother surprised everyone with CD copies of the old family slides, I connected the player to the TV and gave everyone a slide show!  It does appear to have one small limitation in that it tops out when 'reading' over 648 images from a single folder (directory).  So if you're going to burn a CD for a picture slide show, you better create separate folders if you have a lot of pictures.  I would rate the picture quality just average for JPG images but DVD movies look good.  And I think the sound from the 2 built-in speakers is quite impressive (it has an equalizer with a variety of pre-sets).  The size is quite nice, very compact for an 8\\" player and the battery pack is well designed.  I would say that this is a good deal but only time will tell about its reliability.  It's not a Sony or Panasonic, but they all come from China like everything else we buy
