  • Does it play .mkv and .MP4 formats?

    • Not sure but ones I have had in the past can only do standard def xvid avis

      • Better to buy an Android tab…

        What's the best one ATM, eg , 1080p 7'' or 8"…?

  • +14

    There can only be one.

  • +1

    It's a DVD like Netflix?

    • +5

      it's an advance version of netflix. it doesn't require weefee to work

      • Wow!! The future looks promising!! Next you'll tell me there's Spotify without wifi

        • The future's so bright

  • Someone needs to invent a wireless DVD reader that lets you watch DVDs on your iPad/Android. I would pay $50 for that. If it did Blu Rays too. And had a portable electric shaver built in, that would be boss.

    • and historically there was a time lag for additional features to appear on music players: fm, cassette, cd, usb, bluetooth….wifi. but I suppose the eyes & ears are in for a treat of micro devices soon - google glasses etc.

    • Isn't that a DVD/Bluray rip into an external drive in h.265 and connected via dongle (iPad pro, Android tablets)? Where's my $50?

      • That's already what I do. More or less.

    • DVD to Droid is a great free app to extract a DVD straight to your android device:

    Would be good if it had an AV port, I'd gut it and shove something small like a SHIELD TV in there or something, that'd be cool.

    • Or a raspberry pi.

      • I've never had one so I didn't think of it, but in retrospect, it's the obvious choice, yeah

  • A portable LukiDTuv with Doovde

  • Bwoah 2001 came calling!

  • this will go great with my portable Gramophone

  • +8

    There's a lot of snarky comments on this deal, but there is definitely still a market for this in 2020.

    If you have young kids that you're taking on car trips, for $49 and a pack of blank dvd+rs, you've got entertainment for hours. Add some of those cheap Moki volume limited headphones, and the adults can have relative silence and not listening to the wiggles for hours on end.

    Yes an ipad or android tablet might be a more elegant and universally useful option, but you won't get an android tablet for less than $200-250 that doesn't make you want to turf it out of the car window at 100km/hr because it only has 1-2gb of ram and is a hassle to load up the movies.

    I won't be buying one as I don't have kids, but for $49 there is definitely a legitimate use case for this thing in 2020 and it's a damn good price.

      Agreed. Unfortunately some just assume that just because they do things the way they do, everyone else does/should do likewise. Many people don't have technical expertise to do things as suggested in some of these comments, nor know-how, or just have different needs, or many other scenarios.

      Know someone who fits most of the above categories, has a large DVD collection (built over MANY years, many of whose films NOT available now in any way shape or form, including online), hates paying subscriptions, hates watching things on his phone as it's too small, has no dvd player anymore or a screen to plug it into. Something like this would be beneficial, and thanks to OP's deal I've forwarded the link.

      As for the gramophone joke, well, hopefully someone can tell me how ELSE to listen to a record without electricity. Because if/when the apocalypse hits, those without solar panels and batteries but WITH wind-up gramophones will be enjoying their record collections whilst everyone else will be listening to nature's sounds only, perhaps.

    • Well said.

      I did get the deal after umm'ing and ahh'ing on it which I'll explain.

      I have 3 kids, one who broke the family tablet screen twice!

      First time was a VERY costly repair and I almost lost it because of how much money was just flushed down the toilet in the matter of weeks when he broke it a second time.

      I repaired it much cheaper myself the second time and swore I wasn't spending any big bucks on the kids if it's easily breakable (like tablets). I may as well just throw the money down the drain. The kids were banned from touching the tablet after that.

      So agree, absolutely there is a market for cheap entertainment for young kids. This is cheap enough that I won't be tempted to throw the clumsy kid out on the street if it breaks.

      We have a hand me down set of these [Dick Smith electronics from early 2000's to give you an idea of how old they are]. They do keep the kids going for hours in the car but they are on their last legs.

      Great timing, great deal.

  • any way of using the screen with an external input? if so, would be a reasonably cheap monitor
