I found this guide indispensable for making sure the DVD ran on PC's & Mac's http://www.s-j-t.co.uk/flashkit/HybridCDv1.1.pdf and authored it on a PC with no problems - CDEverywhere is good, a bit pricy, but probably worth it in the long run. One of the things to remember is not to worry about getting Autorun for the Mac working - Apple "removed" this feature from the system around OSX and I have been told that most Mac users are smart enough to click the icon you set up for them The nice thing about Flash CS3 is that the projector it creates for the Mac looks like a folder of rubbish on the PC, but is seen as an application by the Mac too. Not sure about streaming FLV from the disk, but my application had a text search facility that ran through a lot of files without too many problems. I recommend doing the Wrapper + Application element discussed in the PDF too... I built my application in Flex, but created a Flash projector wrapper. Apparently there are possible problems with this, but I did not encounter them and I have some code to minimise this if you go that route, but otherwise Flash + Flash is a fine way to do it... My mate did some DVD stuff with opening PDF's and had to do a bit of messing around to account for Mac & CD and any stuff involving opening files / running commands outside the application will be a pain. There are a number of paid for extensions that are supposed to help with this, although apparently Zinc and other 3rd party projector tools will make this easier, but I did not have the time to learn them. http://www.atomiksoftware.com/fire-up/index.htm http://www.flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart http://www.multidmedia.com/ - Zinc http://screenweaver.org/doku.php - Screenweaver (Open Source) I think there are a couple of others, but again, have not found them... Lots of testing will be needed, so buy a stack of DVD disks. :) Hope this helps a bit.
