Thanks for the info. I was able to negotiate the DVD by using the right mouse button and arrow keys. The keyboard short keys did not all work whether or not I had JAWS on or off.
This particular DVD was a compliment to a text book and had 54 video clips. There were descriptions to each clip but JAWS could not read them. Neither curser would say anything but "graphic".
