Item: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept secured in Low-risk Storage Vault C6-XXXX, at Site-58. Requests for testing can only be made by Level 2 staff upward and require approval from Senior Researcher Sugiyati
Description: SCP-XXXX is a black, cube-shaped DVD player, measuring 17cm3 and weighing 2kg. The front of SCP-XXXX comprises of two vertical slots for inserting DVD discs and a small 2cm x 4cm LCD screen. The rear side holds the power cable (US) and connections for an analog AV cable, while all other sides bear no noteworthy features. Analyzing the internal structure of SCP-XXXX while disconnected, shows it to be completely devoid of any components. However, when SCP-XXXX is active, internal analysis is rendered impossible and invariably inconclusive.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous behavior manifests when it is connected to a power source, plugged into a screen, and has two different DVDs inserted into it. When these criteria are met SCP-XXXX will activate, with its LCD screen will read "THNK YOU". After approximately 30 seconds, SCP-XXXX will begin to play a form of media. The media played by SCP-XXXX will consistently be a narrative amalgamation of the two inserted DVD's contents.
The content of the combined media is erratic and has previously ranged between a sophisticated melding of ideas and characters, to simply 2 sets of different media characters fighting for 90 minutes. As soon as the media ends, SCP-XXXX will display a short message on its LCD screen. All media created by SCP-XXXX will only play once and cannot be repeated as the DVD discs inserted into SCP-XXXX will not eject and are deemed unretrievable after use.
SCP-XXXX was found active in the middle of an empty office building after reports of electronic glitches were reported in a 10KM radius around the site. SCP-XXXX was observed to be showing the message ":):) ):)" on its LCD screen. Approximately 2500 empty DVD cases were strewn around the area of discovery. However, none of the cases contained information as to what was contained on them.

DVDs: Birdman (2014) + Spotlight (2015)
Media Description: The entire Birdman film takes place as normal with the entire cast and story of Spotlight taking place simultaneously in the background. The movie is mostly unintelligible due to the main characters of either movie struggling to be heard over the others, often interjecting the other character's lines. Occasionally, Micheal Keaton's characters collide mid-scene and proceed to bump chests shouting "What?!" for up to 3 minutes.
End Message: "MORR PLS"
Test 7:
DVDs: Cher: Live in Concert (1999) + The Matrix (1999)
