I am one of those Drive-In (and some indoor) Theatre intermission countdowns, concession ads, local business ads, etc groupies, too! Love having them on physical media.Something Weird Video put four VHS tapes of back in the way old days of Drive-In Intermission time clocks, Drive-In Promotions and other nostalgic trailers. They also were a collection of indoor theatre promotions. I don’t recall them ever being released on DVD. For the nostalgia groupies of those easy times this Bul-ray should be enjoyed. Depending on the transfers.
For what’s worth I’m one of those groupies after years of overseeing and film booking Drive-ins. It’s on order.
I suppose this is representative of the original six VHS compilations the Amazon description says are included on the Blu-ray.
I have a lot of these and similar snipes (from Archive.org and other sources) and they are fun to use like that with a show for a group. Only issue with Plex player (and Infuse) on AppleTV is a playback gap between them or a filename display that comes up. I usually end up putting them on a flash drive and using my Oppo's media player function to play them before a feature.This seems like something that would work best as individual files on a Plex server, programmed to play before and between other content. Swapping discs and chapter skipping to find the perfect trailer for what you're watching seems like it would be awkward.
Yeah, some of these ads are cool to see, but I don't know if I want to sit down and watch a bunch of them in a row. Would be cool if they could be integrated with movies of the same period.This seems like something that would work best as individual files on a Plex server, programmed to play before and between other content.

Back in the DVD-R version days, I had a Sony 5-disc DVD changer/carousel player and placed one of the discs in it along with a favorite cartoon compilation disc, a schlocky horror or sci-fi trailer disc and a couple of movie discs for whatever double-bill was on my schedule for the night. Then I just hopped from one disc to another using the remote's skip/play buttons.This seems like something that would work best as individual files on a Plex server, programmed to play before and between other content.
