Thanks Colin - that's the sort of thing I was thinking - but I'm not clear what your are saying here with regard to Director? Is it that you have already done this with Director - are there some plugins that can be used? I would have thought that we could get Rev to Script both the PC and the OSX

Not so much a compatibility problem but a delivery issue. I used to churn out the cd-rom apps with video (which is similar to what you're describing), years ago, now my clients request web delivery. I've found there's no such thing as 'plain ol dvd players'. Many PCs still don't have them,

Yes - thanks. Any links / references would be useful. My main nightmare would be to pitch this and get the client to print loads of DVD's which would not play in some consumer DVD players. As long as a DVD has a properly authored formatted VIDEO_TS folder it will play on most any DVD player.

Thanks all - seems unproblematic then? I'm a little worried that I'll break compatibility with plain old DVD players. I'm a little intrigued by this, as something doesn't stack up - which is why I assumed there would be a problem doing this with DVD's. Where does this argument go wrong: 1. It

Does anyone know of the low down on creating DVD's that will play as normal video DVD's - but that also contain computer data and software such as a Rev application? I've not done this with DVD's, and thought actually it would not work or I'd have seen more of the beasts - this is a quote I found

I am sure one can create multi-session DVDs just like you can for CDs. I'd experiment around with a copy of Toast (or Nero) and see what files those apps put in . - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev 2010/1/17 David Bovill

a UDF dvd format is what you're after. if you're using Toast - select the Data/DVD-ROM (UDF) option If you build in DVD Studio Pro you can create links to content on the DVD or the internet. I'm unsure as to whether you can link to a Rev app (from the DVD menu) but it can certainly be on the
