Anybody Here Know About Creating Interactive CDs?

Post by Phil B »

I'm working on this idea for a DVD-ROM that involves video, graphics and animation, sound, hyperlinked text, and other interactive things.

Anybody here know what designers of these products generally use as far as software? Are different design tools used first to create the elements that are later brought together with a programming language like visual basic or something like that?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot on this topic - I am. Any help?

Hey Phil,

I really don't know anything about this, but I did find this link over at Apple's site that might be of interest to you:

Good luck! Sounds like a fun adventure.

Cheers,
RW

Looks like a cool piece of software. I'm going to read up on it.
Thanks

I think that's a great idea, Phil. [Edited] I think you should definitely pursue that. Frankly, I'd probably buy it, as there some things in there that I could probably benefit from. I'll ask around to see if I can come up with any other ideas/info for you on how to assemble these things.

Cheers,
RW

Thanks RW - I'll let you know how things progress (but, you wouldn't have to "buy" it)

Thanks Phil, I needed a good money making idea. Actually it sounds like too much work for the way I try to make my money. I appreciate you leaving it up until I could read it. Been busy losing over at eBay once again. If I have any good ideas for you I will get back to you.

P.S. Phil, you really should think about selling it. I think it would be quite marketable.

Cheers,

I think this is an easier way to make money. I cut and pasted Phil’s moneymaking idea and have gone into business with RW enterprises. Anybody that would like to see this idea can contact my business associate at [edit] for pricing details.

And another thing, I've recently been in touch with a college professor of mine who started the electronic music foundation about 10 years ago. I was speaking with him about some finance issues for the foundation and, after a while, he asked me to be on the board. I accepted. I'm pretty excited about it. It is an amazing group because the people involved have been on the cutting edge of electronic music for a long time. Anyway if you want to check it out, go to emf dot org.

Congrats on the appointment. It looks like a great organization. We'll expect to see the Fantom-S prominently displayed in their work from now on. :-)

[Edit -- I couldn't help but notice that Roland is one of their corporate sponsors....how interesting.....Fantom-S, Roland....well, I'll be expecting big things now! ;-)]

Cheers,
RW
