You need an A/V switcher : AVC-3 Audio / Video Controller
• 4 A/V Input & 3 Video/Audio Outputs
• 3 A/V Outputs Can Select Input Signal Independently
• Video Input Impedance: 75 Ohm
• Audio Input Impedance: 8.2K Ohm
• Dimensions 7.5” x 1.3” x 4”

Would it be posible to just put in RCA (Y) adapters from my video hook ups at the DVD player??

You can, but your quality of video may be comprimised. Try it out. It only costs you a pair of Y adaptors. The worse thing that can happen is that you get a crappy picture. Post your results for us.

I have 2 monitors and am running a dvd and old n64 in the minivan. Wanted to be able to select what signal goes to which monitor. Went to radio shack, bought a rca block. it allows for 8 rca plugs. with a little soldering, voila! you can now switch what you want where you want! I didn't notice any loss of qualitiy (for about 10 minutes, but thats a different story! See my post on ov580mHELP! if you care!) with a little more time, I will be building a switch system in. so, yes, if you wanna be lazy, or just easier, your "y" adapter will work fine!
