When you veered into VIDEO you went into the minefield. The video that you can expect a stock Windows machine to play is, well, you tell me. It's something you, as the creator, author and more should be able to answer. It's pretty grim and means that you also become an expert in video encoding.
No app I know does this for us.

I need to create a multimedia CD or DVD which will include some video clips, photos, texts and hyperlinks. The final product will need to be a self-executing package. I don't want the end user to go through any installation hassle. He will simply need to insert the CD/DVD into the appropriate drive in his PC and run it from there. An autoplay feature would be nice too.
So, which software would you recommend? One with a low learning curve would be nice ![]()
I can work on either a PC or MAC; so Windows or Mac software are equally welcome.
