Mintek portable dvd player ??????

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

You can probably use it, But if you can post a picture of the other board (you will probably need this too) I may be able to help you find composite video.

From the pictures you've shown me, I can't seem to locate any A/V in jacks anywhere. The general rule for DVD players in that if they are not originally designed to accept analog A/V signals, they won't.
