Does anyone know a program that I can use to make Interactive CD/DVD's? I want to build a disc for my company but I dont know what program I would have to get.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Vinko and I will attempt to assist you.

By "interactive CD/DVDs" what do you mean exactly? As whether the CD/DVD is interactive depends on the content and the most popular tool for creating interactive content is target="_blank">FLASH and FileMaker Pro.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using MacOSX.Com's free Mac support.

Hi Dale,

The reason I did not suggest iDVD, is because I don't think the user is asking for a tool to create a standard DVD with DVD menus.

Since s/he mentioned "interactive CD/DVD", that is why I've also asked him/her to clarify exactly what is meant.

Dear Andre,

Thank you for your clarification.

In that case, you can just build the desired web site and using relative links (URLs); an offline website, and then copy the nessary pages and resources to the CD.

Some very easy tools for building a web site are:

• iWeb - part of Apple's iLife '06 suite of applications


• RapidWeaver

More techical tool would be Dreamweaver.

Note that Dreamweaver is more expensive than the other recommendations.

I hope this helps.
