   Do look for a portable DVD player which has a good audio and video output. A portable player with high quality outputs can easily replace a regular player when you are home. You may also be interested in buying a piece which has twin headphone jacks to let you share audio with your companion.

5. Battery life:
   
   This is the most important thing that makes a portable DVD player viable. Unless you are able to play it without the AC cables for a considerable period of time they will be useless. So look for a piece which has a long battery life.
