Hi all I am really excited to find a place to learn more about electronics. While learning and watching Ben Heck I thought of what I think would be a very kewl and useful thing to have. See my son is Autistic and destroys DVDs and I am guessing other people have problems with either young children or special needs. So I would buy a used portable DVD player remove the dvd player part and build an interface to a hard disk drive. That way you could carry all the kids videos or your movies on the Hard disk drive and wouldn't have to carry his whole collection of DVD's on the trip.
It would also so be neat if the same unit could some how hook to a smart TV and it would play the video on the big TV as well.
I am considering using a Banana Pi maybe for my build it already has support for hard drive.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks a lot
