    OK, 2008-07-12 THE MOVIES ARE HARD TO FIND FOR THIS MINI DVD. THE BATTERY LEAKED AFTER A YEAR. SO I HAVE IT USED IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.
    Good size player for child-hard to find movies on mini-discs, 2008-12-21 I purchased this as a gift for my 5 year old son and am looking forward to giving it to him for Christmas. However, I only rated it 3 stars because I'm having a terrible time finding very many movies on mini-disc.
    Save your money!, 2009-06-08 If you notice the date from the sellers who wrote these revies, they are at least 2 years old. I have ordered at least four of these 'supposed' portable mini dvd players(I say 'supposed' because not one of them has arrived), over the past year and a half, and have yet to recieve one. This is the biggest scam online I have ever seen, if you have the opportunity to buy one of these players do not buy them on amazon. And definetly do not buy from the seller, 'book1998', or 'J&R music and computer world'. As it states in the title of the review, 'SAVE YOUR MONEY!'
    get this for long flights!, 2008-06-21 This is the only video player I have found that runs on regular replacable AA batteries. We travel with kids to England from San Diego so a movie player that dies after 1-2 hours isn't worth the baggage space. This item allows you to bring a pack of batteries and you are set for 10 hours non stop viewing! Big draw back is that it only plays "mini" disks which basically means you have to buy your own blank mini disks and then convert your existing dvd/video into your mini disk using software on your pc. If you are up for the tech challenge the results are worth it!
    great price for good unit, 2010-07-17 While it would not have been a good deal at its original price for the ~ one third of that that Amazon is selling it for now it is amazing. Battery life is reasonable. a set of alkalines lasts about 2 and a half hours at max volume. The included looney tunes cartoon disk works great and has a nice batch of classic cartoons. I used it mostly to play MP3 files burned to a DVD and the built in speaker is adequate. I strongly suggest using earphones for movies though. I haven't yet tried the included 2300mAH niMH batteries. The included charger charged those overnight...took more than 5 hours but less than 8 to fully charge them. Heck the batteries and Charger alone are worth Half the current price so look at this as a mini-DVD player for the cost of a case of decent beer and you'll be happy.
The negatives are:
1) It only plays mini-DVDs so know that going into the purchase. You'll likely be burning your own fair use copies of movies and having to hunt down blank mini-DVDs. Look for them in the Camcorder accessory isles at big box retailers or buy online.
2) The buttons are very small and not easy to read the labels. This may be okay for a 5 to 9 year old, but not good for an elderly person.
3) the main control for navigating either movie menus or file menus is the top mounted joystick. It feels pretty flimsey and I'd doubt it will last long in the hands of the typical child.
4) It will not autoplay a disk just by turning it on. You have to push play. Not likely a problem for a child, but as my main use will be for my elderly mother to listen to recorded BBC radio shows that may be a non-starter. I won't find out for certain till Fall though.
Other thoughts:
It will eat batteries fast. It is powering a laser and a motor spinning a mini-DVD. You will need either a second set of rechargeables or a lot of Alkaline AA batteries if you plan on using it on trips of great length. A third option is to purchase a 6Volt DC adapter. I'd recommend taking the unit with you to Radioshack to make sure you get the right sized plug (The external power jack is a bi-polar located slightly forward of the headphone jack) and that the adapter has enough current(the manual calls for 6Volts DC at 1 to 1.5 Amps or order Adapter PA-AA25) to run it.
