November 9, 200619 yr The company I work at is giving us a choice of a couple different Xmas gifts as a "employee appreciation gift" since we're grossly exceeding our numbers this year. The options were:30 GB Ipod10.5" Digital picture frame w/memory cardSlingBox Pro10.2" swivel screen portable DVD playerI don't really need the Ipod or the Slingbox as I have better solutions already. The picture frame might be nice to give the parents for Xmas...I ended up choosing the portable DVD player though. It is this one:http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...egoryNavigationI found on another web site that it contains a Composite video in as well as an audio in jack. I was thinking I might be able to somehow hack the display off the unit and use it as some sort of dedicated radio stack display or GPS display in FSX. If I can figure out how to hook this up to my 7900GT video card that is...What do ya'll think? Is there something better I could do with the display? What if my video card doesn't have a Composite out? Is there a way to convert from DVI-->Composite?--2002cbr600f4i
November 10, 200619 yr Yes that's possible as long as your grafic card has a video out.I use a s-video out adapter cable. On the other side it has that yellow connector (cinch?).Then you have to transform the signal to your dvd input device.I use a trust televiewer for that.See my webpage for further details. I use a 5 inch lcd , normally used in cars for navigation purposes in my fmchttp://home.wanadoo.nl/norbert.bosch/fmc.htmlregardsNorbert
