OK guys, need advice here. I am putting together a trade show booth, and will be mounting a 32" TV as part of the display. Since trade show booths never have cablevision access, I need a couple of sources to display the Irule system. The 32" TV will be controlled via the Irule, as will the small sound system that I'm putting in as well.

I am putting together a slide show for what Sound Solutions does, that will be fed into the VGA input via a laptop running a Powerpoint presentation, so what I need now as an alternative input is sports. Most of you know that I don't follow sports at all. My first thought was buying a movie that's sports related, but then I realized that most will have love scenes, etc in them, and I don't want that in the booth, never mind partial nudity, etc.

I won't be running sound at all, I just need a good BluRay. Ideally, it would show a bunch of different sports, but I'll bet that will be hard to find as well. So, then I figured that maybe a documentary/highlight BR would work. So far I've found stuff like:

there's also the latest Seattle Superbowl victory, but I ain't paying $35 for it. Smile

Anyone got any other good sports BRs that would work?

thanks!

Just pull down some nice, high-quality YouTube clips and throw the mp4 files on a WD Live player. It'll just sit there and loop the files. The cheap models are usually $50-60/ea. You could even get two of them and just save your PPT out as JPGs and not have the hassle of a computer… Just switch between the two players.

In fact, throw in a couple more WD players, and you could put NFL on one, NHL on another, NASCAR on a third, and your PPT on a fourth. Just an idea.

The WD TV is what we used at CEDIA for our looping video presentation. Switched between that, the computer with Builder running on it, and a BD player. I guess you could switch between computer, BD player, and two WD players if you wanted some variety.

Days of Thunder doesn't have any nudity IIRC.

Cool, thanks guys! I didn't even know that WD Live player existed, just looking on ebay now.

Bumping this to the top. I now have 2 WD players just like Steve said I should get. Now I`m on youtube looking at suitable clips, but I`ll be damned if I can figure out how to download what`s on Youtube. I`m sure I`m being stupid, but could I get some guidance?

There are a couple of plugins for Chrome, Curt. That's the easiest way.

I'll give you a link or two when I'm back at my computer.
