Getting 5V - 1A from a DVD power supply

Hi!

During the last months I’ve been searching old devices to allocate my raspberry with volumio and so give an image of a nice high-end equipment in my audiophile rack. Yesterday I finally found an old DVD player that has enough space for the raspberry plus a nice power supply that I’m sure I can use to supply the pi.

Do you know if the power supply will give definitely give me a more stable values than the basic Blackberry charger that I’m using so far?

Do you know where can I get the 5v-1A from the DVD power supply? I guess I’m going to spend some time searching for it with the tester…

good redundant power supply is very important for stable working. Could You connect a CD/DVD player to Raspberry Pi? I’m looking forward for some information how to do that … tomek@olsza.krakow.pl
