<br />
I know you can get table top Photo Frames to flick through your photo collection<br />
<br />
Is there something similar that could continuously play/or shuffle each video in your collection.<br />
<br />
I have gigabytes of moving video that I have collected over the years and the fact that most of the footage will never be seen unless we sit down for days on end to watch them (which is not going to happen.....)<br />

Thanks]]></content:encoded>
