I have an old portable DVD player with an AV out plug. I was wondering if I used an AV to RCA cable then a double sided RCA cable if I could hook it up to a raspberry pi and use it as a screen.

Well you don't give too much information about your DVD player, but I would suggest that connecting the 'AV out' of a RaspberryPi to the 'AV out' of a DVD player would not work.
well is there anyway I can make it an AV in?
Do you have any information about your DVD player? Make/Model for instance?
IIt's a dynex DX-PDVD9A. Can you tell me anything with that info?
Here's some info on using a Portable DVD Player as a Cheap LCD Video Monitor for various Projects. The Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer, would be a good one to use for this kind of thing. There are many links from my Research, on my Blog Post here, DonsDeals: How to Hack a Portable DVD Player into a Cheap LCD Video Monitor for The Raspberry Pi and More

I have read that it will work with the raspberry pi
I've seen some projects where people use the screen from a portable DVD player with their Pi here is and example
I want to do the similar thing. But my dvd olayer has no av input. Can I solder to any to get the display to work on my rpi?
You would have to provide some details of the unit in question, quality photos of the inside and part numbers of the display etc.
To both HS & PO; This discussion thread was started in 2013. Comment(er) DH had Good Links (thru another person),.Quite Cool "hack" videos. But alas also posted in 2013. Cheaper Cost Displays are now available. If we could find even DVD Players now-a-days, we can try these Hacks while we listen to "Glory Days" (by Bruce Springsteen),
Again I ask comment(ers) to list their Country of Residence. This way we can suggest Options (both H/W & S/W) that may/may-not be applicable in that country.
