Alternatively, does anyone know what software is used to make interactive DVDs for TV (y'know, the movie, the outtakes, the interview with the director/the star/the babe, and a menu to tie it all together)?
DVD Studio Pro can do interactive DVD-Videos, including random scene jumping. It has a simple scripting language built into it, that ordinary DVD players can understand. No real need to involve Director, although someone did once do a Director based tool that would be a competitor to DVD Studio Pro.
It isn't very clever stuff, you would set a variable to a random amount, and then do a separate test for each possible value of the variable, and play the scene you want based on that. If they want random pictures to show alongside music, that might be a bigger issue. If I were you I would make a lot of different clips where the pictures had been chosen at random, and then fire off one of those pre-defined sequences, which could have music with them.
