Portable DVD Player Saving Discs on SD Cards

The gap between the portable DVD player and the computer became what a fraction of what it once was with the launch of a new portable DVD player that saves files while it plays them.

Copy Capable Portable DVD Player
Portable DVD players previously only worked as playback devices for compact discs, DVDs and, occasionally, SD cards.

While most other devices these days also have a file transfer and data storage function of some description the majority of portable DVDs on the market are still only capable of this playback function.

According to Rose Li, the PR Manager for wholesale electronics supplier, Chinavasion, this often discourages people from buying a portable DVD player. "Laptops and netbooks are emerging now that are exactly the same price as many of the high-end portable DVD players, if not less," according to Rose Li. "Why would someone pay top dollar for something that can just play discs when they could pay a little more and get something that does a lot more?"

China Wholesale company Chinavasion realized this and launched a portable DVD player line that can rip files onto a SD card or USB drive as well as play the CDs and DVDs.

According to Chinavasion’s Rose Li this helps change the perception of the portable DVD from a glorified TV into a data transfer portal that can be taken anywhere. "If people are on the road and someone likes a picture, movie clip or song that is being played on the portable DVD the person showing it can just make them a copy of those photos right then and there," said Rose Li. "What else, besides a laptop, has that functionality?"
