    For a project I’m working on I’ve been asked to find a way for a client to basically play a DVD with menus via the internet. Is there any way to create a DVD with different chapters and then have someone play it online? As far I knew this wouldn’t be possible without recreating the chapters as links via a web page. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Encore has something like this, but I’ve not used it, so I can’t speak to if the output is actually functional or worthwhile. Anytime I have a client with a request like this, I push them in the direction of creating a dedicated and intentionally built website with this functionality. DVDs and web sites have different features and capabilities, so it’s really best to design for one of the other and not try to make something fit for both.

    Ive been using a Slingbox for years for this purpose. Allows your client to log on and control your DVD Player with full functionality.

    I have clients log on with their iPhones and proof their titles….cool stuff and makes you look Super Pro!
