Here is the rule....,..I would assume the DVD screen would be considered a "television set" and therefore your setup would be illegal.

Television sets
7.18 (1) Except as provided in subsection (2), no person shall drive or cause to be driven a vehicle in which the image displayed from a television set in the vehicle is visible to that person.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if the image displays information or data solely designed to assist the driver

(a) in the safe operation of the vehicle or the safety and security of its load or its passengers,

(b) to reach a destination in due timeliness,

(c) who is a peace officer, to carry out his duties as a peace officer, or

(d) to assess fees or charges payable by passengers or users of the vehicle.

(3) No person shall drive or cause to be driven a vehicle in which a television set is installed unless it is securely and safely mounted in the vehicle in a position which does not obstruct the view of the driver.
