Connecting iPod to Portable DVD player

I have an 80gb iPod Video and want to hook it up to my portable DVD player. The cable for the iPod has the yellow video and red/white audio cables. The DVD player I have and the ones I've been looking at to replace it all have just one port for the audio. Almost any portable you look at on Best Buy, etc. will have the one port for audio instead of the red/white hookups. Is there a converter or something I can use to make the connection?????

Thanks!

As long as your DVD player accepts the plugs on your cable all you have to do is hook up the white plug to the audio. If you have a plug that looks more like a mini headphone plug then you can get an adaptor to make the RCA plug on your cord become a mini plug. Still, you should be able to just plug in the one audio plug and get sound. Same as I do on my TV that only has mono.
