From what I've heard, even ones with internal batteries are pretty lame and often pack up before you've barely manged to watch one DVD so you end up having to carry a shed load of AA batteries with you.
You could knock up a battery box (available from maplin.co.uk) for 8 NiMh 1.5v D or C rechargables to get your 12v and should be good enough capacity for a long train journey or a short/medium flight before recharging.
