Interactive DVD question

Herm Stork · June 21st, 2012, 09:24 AM

I have a client that needs an interactive DVD...this is what they are asking for:

"videos have to be interactive: clicking on the part of the body treated with the osteopathic techniques gives anatomic referrals info"

I have never done something like this. Is it possible to create an interactive DVD in DVD Architect? If not, where do I go to get something like this produced?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds to me like you just need buttons over the various parts of anatomy.

Thanks for the quick response. I have only created simple menus with my DVDs so this is all new to me.

So, it is possible to create a button over the video while it is being played, that when pressed will direct you to a new page/chapter that could contain text or description? Where would I find this in Architect?

No. It will have to be on a menu.

Can this sort of thing be with Adoe Encore (there is a DVD, Blu Ray, and Flash output)
