I have seen the nifty carrousel type audio CD jukeboxes for the home, but do they have a DVD video version?

I would love the convenience of not having to bother flipping dvds in and out of my player=)

The convenience of the CD changers is not having to switch CD’s every time you want to hear something not on that current disc. It’s novel because songs are generally 3 minutes long and having to get up every 3 minutes is a PITA. DVDs, OTOH, usually contain feature films that are at least an hour and a half long. It’s not a big deal to change one disc since you’ve been sitting on your butt watching LOTRs for 3 hours. Besides, Og knows I would need a restroom break. 😛  
To answer your question, I don’t think there is a market for such a devise and such, not one available (at least that I’ve seen). But you never know.

Actually, DVD changers do exist - [a 5 disc Panasonic runs $130 at Best Buy](http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1077630479848&skuId=6563658&productCategoryId=cat03013&type=product) , or if you need more space than that, there is this [400 disc DVD Player from Sony for $380.](http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051826211926&skuId=5424034&productCategoryId=cat03013&type=product)
