We did a lot of these a few years ago for big box stores and we used a solid state device that was the size of a cigarette box. We had to load the content on via USB and the video had very specific specs as I recall. I know nowadays they make HD versions, but we only used SD back then. We had the option of a 3-button console that could choose one of the 3 movies loaded on the device. > > Sorry I dont remember the name of the device we used or any further useful info, but suffice to say that there are plenty of options for this type of thing.
