    I have several instructional videos. I would like to present them in an interactive way. I would like to have a main screen with icons and labels of each video. Also, I want it to play full screen without using Windows Media Player. Also, the player would allow the viewer to fast forward, rewind, go back to the main menu, etc. Can someone please tell me the names of some programs that will allow me to do this? I am a novice at this so if someone has a better way for me to present this information, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Or you could just author chapters in a DVD, the menu would give you direct access to each chapter, and you just use the DVD remote for the rewind, slo-mo, still, loop, etc. I think this would be easier and faster to do than Flash. Simple chapter menus are something you can do in even the most elementary DVD programs like iMovie, which comes free with a mac, or the PC equivalent, whatever that is.

    I agree that a simple DVD with menu and chapters is the way to go. The programs we use are Avid Liquid for video edit, and Sony DVD Architect Studio for Authoring.

    It depends on your delivery method. If it will be web-based, then Flash is the way to go. If you’re distributing via Disk, then I agree a DVD with menus and chapters is the way to go. The only DVD Authoring tool I’ve used is Adobe Encore DVD.
