I am researching a portable dvd player and CNET says this unit is not as long as they claim. I would like to hear from real people.
I'm looking for a dvd player with 10 or more hours of battery life for my upcoming international flight (15 hours + 4 hours).
THanks.

I have an old Panasonic portable DVD player, but I can't find the charger. Can I safely use a different AC adaptor, with different specs, to either run the player, or charge the battery? The player is a Panasonic DVD-LV75. The proper adaptor for it is 9V and 2A. The battery is a Panasonic CGP-H501 (7.2V 6000mAh Li-ion).

Can I use a different Voltage or Amperage adaptor to charge the battery? If so, what would work?

A: I would not recommend using another charger to charge your player UNLESS it's the same EXACT voltage/watts/amps. You can burn the DVD player up and possibly cause a fire. You can just get a new charger I believe from needbattery.com

Well if this gadget doesn't fall in to the 'I want one of those' category I don't know what does! In the press release we received last night, DivX and Panasonic jointly announced the worlds first DivX certified portable Blu-ray player. Now personally I love watching films on Blu-ray so I definitely want to get my hands on one of these to review!

DivX, Inc. and Panasonic Corporation today announced the launch of the world’s first DivX Certified® portable Blu-ray Disc player. Available now in the United States, Canada, France and Australia, and soon in the rest of the world, the portable Panasonic DMP-B15 joins Panasonic’s growing list of DivX Certified stand alone Blu-ray players, enabling consumers to enjoy DivX videos when they are at home or on the go.

The DMP-B15 incorporates the DivX Certified LSI “UniPhier®” integrated multimedia chip platform for high-quality DivX video playback and possesses all the functionality of Panasonic’s stand alone Blu-ray players, including extensive visual, audio and network features. Its portability is enhanced by DivX compression technology which enables over six hours of high-quality DivX video to fit on just one DVD without sacrificing visual quality. The DMP-B15 can also be connected to an HDTV or used as a stand alone Blu-ray disc player.

“As the pioneer in the development of DVD and Blu-ray technologies, we are pleased to bring the first portable Blu-ray player to market with DivX Certified video playback,” said Kazuhiko Nakamura, Group Manager of Product Technology, Video Business Unit, Network Business Group, Panasonic AVC Networks Company, Panasonic Corporation. “DivX Certification enables us to offer added value to our customer base by enhancing their viewing experience and providing them with true portability of their high-quality DivX videos on innovative Panasonic products.”

A wide range of Panasonic products have received DivX Certification, with portable and stand alone Blu-ray players being the most recent additions to a list that includes HDTVs, DVD players, and in-car players. “The Blu-ray Disc player market is significant and growing, accounting for 9 percent of the total stand alone player market in 2009, up from just over 5 percent in 2008,” said Sheri Greenspan, senior consumer analyst for iSuppli Corp.
