Since Astone media players are not able to playback original CSS-protected DVD Video, I bought Akira DVD Player PD-3228E for $34.90. It has USB input, progressive scan and LED Display with composite, S-video and component video.
Using a card reader, flash drive or hard disk drive with the USB port, you can play music (MP3) and photo (JPG). Video (VOB) can be played but without audio. You can even rip a music CD into MP3 files by connecting a flash drive or hard disk drive with the USB port.

Using iPod Touch 8GB MC086ZP
Bought an iPod Touch 8GB MC086ZP for A$259. It has the latest version 3.1.2 (7D11).
You can't check at the store whether your device is working properly until you connect to a Windows PC or Mac with iTunes installed. There is no need for internet connection and after synchronizing, you'll be shown the main menu.
Power On - Press & hold the Sleep/Wake button until Apple logo appears.
Power Off - Press & hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears and then drag the red slider.
Check Songs, Videos, Photos, Capacity, Available, Version, Serial Number, Model, Wi-Fi Address & Bluetooth - Select Settings > General > About
Set Passcode Lock - Select Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On
Customize Home Screen - Touch & hold any icon on the home screen until the icons start to wiggle. You can move icons anywhere even to a different home screen.
