Hi Guys..<p>I'm toying with the Idea of buying a $200.00 DVD player from Strathfield car radios, (like the XMS etc etc but smaller) and setting it up in the car for the kids..<p>Questions..<p>Do I need a voltage converter (12 to 240)?? or can I select 12V directly on the DVD like Dave's new one ??<p>If I use an old color laptop for the screen..<p>do any laptops use 12V ?<p>Do any laptops accept "S" video, AV of such as an INPUT..<p>If I mount the laptop to the cars ceiling is there any software available to invert the picture 180' so its the right way up...??<p>Will a CD Player work up side down, gravity etc ??<p>If I separate the screen from the laptops CPU unit, how long a distance can you run the cable between the two for ??<p>Don't suggest buying a laptop straight out, I'm told you need a PIII at 600Mgz to provide seamless streaming of DivX etc....at $3000.00<p>no way !!<p>cheers for now <p>Frankfly
