 Anyone ever heard of such a thing? I suppose there are scripting

some browsers have a kiosk mode

if not hooked to the net, you could access local files

This isnt really what you want, but I ran across this guy over the summer:

It's a system to let people submit videos that would then play
publicly. I believe its open source using Joomla.
