I havent seen many, but they were in a old Crunchfield mag, I got a new one today, but there not in that one.

They cost aroung 1200$-2000$ Just buy a Laptop if you can't find a cheaper one.

$1200-2000... for a vcd? you must be thinking about a dvd, but if it was a vcd that is a lot of $$$$

I got the napa mp3/vcd player and its garbage playback is blocky and stop/start still to try svcd but don't think that will work at all better off buying a cheap DVD player.

I don't know if they talk about portable vcd players but the talk about every thing else including reviews of DVD players. So you might want to give it a shot. (http://www.vcdhelper.com/)

Hi, i have a napa 310, and its wicked!

never had a prob with it, i use it for mp3 cd on the way to work, (dont skip to bad) and wathc movies (all copied on the cheapest cdr around!) and all have been fine

very very happy with it, and they cost £60 now so perfect.

also good for me hols, went away with sum mate in a camper van and uses very little power as van didnt have enough jucie for a vcr and a tv, but tv and vcd player was wicked...

watch films all the way to devon, and only skiped on very bumpy road.

Very pleased with it (had it for two years now, no probs)

my bro has the 311 which is even better

Have had my Napa 311 for 6 months, no problems, great with vcd and the mp3 playback is great too.
