Looks remarkable. Never thought I'd see a cooler mod than the Tron mini arcade. This has huge potential. Looking forward to more details.

Quoted from Kcpinballfan:That's cool, looking forward to what you come up with. I'm hoping you come up with some kind of bezel for the screen that ties in with the game and covers the screen edges(not sure if you're gonna make one or not).
I don't think the bezel is going to look like that. No stainless, powder coated black or red. Knowing the work that Mike does this should be one of the best mods ever! 
Quoted from PinballMikeD:The videos will run independently from the songs as they aren't stored in the pinball machine. The videos will be stored on a USB like the CFTBL MOD. You can change videos or add more videos to folders on the USB - more details on this later.
This time I want it to be plug and play, so the plan is to provide everything (screen included). I don't know about the pricing yet, just trying to get it working 100%. I have a bad habit of scope creeping my own projects
SOOOOO I can put my Justin Bieber videos on it??????? YES! YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted from Shado1w:I can't wait for this! Please put in for the first batch. I sent you a pm awhile back.
Thank you
The PMD website is currently under construction. We are adding a fully functional PayPal eCommerce Store to handle this product as well as many more. Say goodbye to pre-order lists

Well you have me beat there w/ Bieber. I'll stick with my Tiffany and Debbie Gibson videos... or I'll just have to find a video of an 8-year old girl whippin' Bieber's ass, that would be sweet as well.
PinballMikeD,
Can you include a long pigtail that can be run from cd player and exit the cabinet? This would allow players to plug that into a wall tv or maybe even to a stereo system? How cool would it be to have a gigantic screen on the wall playing the same stuff as the small one in the machine???? Or to listen to music being played if you wanted to through your stereo ???

At this point videos are DVI, so no audio in the video clips.
Quick update:
Most of the programming has been completed, just working out a few minor details. We've also added a "Store" page to our site, so in the future all of our MODs can be purchase directly through the website. Here's the link:
Mike custom domains are dirty cheap, and can be directed at any URL, I really suggest you hook up something more memorable than that address.

It's on my To Do List
Do you think it could be possible to buy your mod but also have an option to plug it into a tv. Have both options with an adaptor. I already bought the TRC mod from The Pinball Refinery and really like it so if I could use you mod on a monitor on the wall next to my pin that would be awesome......and bigger.

Anything is possible, but you'd probably want to make your own videos as the ones featured on our LCD screen will be sized specifically for it. This wouldn't be that hard to do with the video editing software, which will be included with the MOD.

One could easily set up a video back glass like the Adams Family one that never seemed to become available.
Quoted from thedarkknight77:One could easily set up a video back glass like the Adams Family one that never seemed to become available.
We will give you (the customer) the tools to make your own videos features for: (1) all 12 songs, (2) attract mode, (3) encore, (4) song selection mode, and (5) when the mini playfield is actively in use. We will include stock videos for every feature, but you have the ability to easily make your own videos using our custom video editing software.
Just like the creature MOD, we will give you the ability to add as many videos as you want for any of the features listed above. For example, if you want to have 20 different “Back in Black” videos you just put 20 uniquely named videos in the “Back in Black” folder located on the MOD’s USB drive. Then every time you start BIB mode you’ll see a different video until all 20 videos have been played.
The video editing software is designed to run on Windows7 64 bit machines. The software will allow you to: (1) down load source videos directly from YouTube, (2) crop/resize/rotate/etc. any source video footage, (3) utilize stock overlays or custom ones you create, (4) select start and stop times for source video clipping, and (5) splice two videos together to make one finished video. The software is very powerful, but extremely easy to use. If you’ve played around with our creature MOD then you’ve already seen it.
So, you can easily customize your LCD, making it display whatever you want. In theory you could play your machine for hours and never see the same video twice. If you want to hook our MOD up to a remote/external screen no problem – just run an HDMI cable from our system to your screen. Just don’t replace the DMD yet, we might have something colorful for you later down the road
Looks Great and have a modded Acdc dying for something like this
Stumbled over this video on YouTube
You are apparently not the first with this idea

Nothing comparable with this mod : the video does not change with the game

True, but that is a great video for Rock 'N' Roll Train. Even if it's not as long as the song. If it could be looped during that mode that would be awesome.
I really did like the the graphic around the LCD as well. Mike is there anyway to do red as well as black around the LCD?
Quoted from Darth_Chris:Rock n roll train ?
Unless you want Soul Asylum in your mod 
Quoted from Spankey:LOL...It's been a long day! Fixed.
Just to tease, everybody knew what you meant
Someone add the mode MILFs in the Crowd Wizard mode so we can have some classic older lady footage in a mode!

Yep, that's it! I was the one up at 2:30 am!

We are currently working on the video programming, so more to come
Wow coming up real nice. How much are we talking for a finale version ?
Just an approximation to see if my blood is blue enough for this mod

Quoted from Shado1w:Keep up the good work guys. I can't wait for this mod, I think this is just as good if not better than having an LCD as a dmd.
This I agree with. The big upside for lcd screens is not necessarily as a dmd replacement, but smaller, strategic placement in the playfield.
