Arthur T Knackerbracket submitted a link to an interesting hackaday story about a DIY video player. The approach taken is very simple, using a Raspberry Pi to do all of the heavy lifting. There's also no user interface. The Pi scans for any removable media that has been inserted, and if it finds something it automatically plays the video files contained on the card. For anyone interested in building a no-frills, portable video player this might just be the ticket.

If the video is DVD quality, maybe you can get away with Raspberry Pi Zero?
I'm interested to see if they end up selling a new version of the Zero in the next few years.
