Pinball Promo Videos?

[AskJacob]

I have a cheapie digital photo frame in the pinnie room that I have had for months but never really got round to setting it up yet...

I picked it up at kmart on closeout for $23, and the thing can also play video - so this brings me to an idea.... I like the idea of having other promo material like flyers, keychains etc, so I thought it would be kind of cool to add the promo videos for pinnies to it too.

This is unlikely, but where do you reckon I could find good quality versions? There are heaps on youtube, but they hark from the early days of youtube and are pretty average...

Also, do you know if any other manufacturers made promo vids? So far I can only find Williams/Bally stuff....

here is an example promo from youtube:

The Williams/Bally promo videos were exactly that... Videos!

What you see on YouTube are copies of the original VHS promo videos that have been played a thousand times before being copied.

These are available on DVD from Pin Game Journal: http://www.pingamejournal.com/cool/

They are better than what you see on YouTube, but only that they play full screen. The video quality itself is the same.

I have them here, and they are a GREAT watch! Williams really put some effort into these videos

Thanks for that!

I knew they were not going to be awesome DVD quality, but the process of vhs->pc->youtube was not going to help, I was hoping for the vhs->pc only versions, which it seems the DVD will provide!

Thanks for the link!

I thought of doing this too- and a member here was good enough to send me all the videos ( or a lot of them ) on disc.

Trouble is with the digi pic frames they need to play them as Mpegs ( I think ) or Avi's    and the question is 'how to convert them' and then have EACH games video availabe as a seperate file on the frame.

There are many free DVD to AVI or MPEG converted on the internet. Just do a Google search for them.

To split them up you need Video Editing software. This will usually need to be paid for, but there are free versions that might do the job...

If anyone is happy to burn a copy for me I'd love to check em all out without having to use PooTube.

I found a torrent on piratebay of them. There is #1 and #2 set. 3gb's each or something. Never downloaded it, but it's worth a try.
