Hi,
I was thinking about the same thing a while back. My solution was to get a Dell Laptop with a 14" screen. The price was right and the big screen makes it worth the extra few $.

When I compared the portable ones to the Laptop there realy wasnt much in favour of the player.

I have a Panasonic that I am quite pleased with. It was actually our first DVD player and we hooked it up to a big-screen TV with great results! On a full charge, I can watch about 3 hours.

I don't think I have seen one with a car adapter? Maybe the newer ones have them.

One thing to watch out for with most portables: don't let it sit on your lap/thighs/knees etc. without some kind of protection - the bottom of the unit can get VERY hot.
