5-in-1 Learning Remote might work with your dvd player.

[John Gillick]

I ordered the video sender/receiver which
came with a free 5-in-1 Learning Remote.  I
was disappointed that there was no dvd
button (I mean seriously who makes a
universal remote with no dvd function).
But I tried the DVD codes with the cable
box "CBL" button.  One of the codes
worked.  The buttons aren't exactly self
explanatory but all the ones I use function
on the universal remote.  So it may not
work with every dvd player, and it's going
to take a while to memorize what button
does what (some of them are self
explanatory), but I just wanted to mention
it might work, so you at least try.
