OK got this client, they want a CD ROM, no problem. Mac and PC, no problem. Now they want it to be a DVD as well so it works as a CD ROM and as a DVD. Possible??? Anyone ever do this? How would I do it? HUH? HUH? HUH? Thanks.

if I were you, I'd grab a big, wobbly object. Say, a dead trout. I would proceed to beat the shizzle out of your client for thinking stupid thoughts.
(DVDs never work on CD-ROM non-DVD drives)

oh yeah forgot. CDs work in both CD and DVD drives as a general rule.

kpl thats exactly what i wanted to do. they sprung this on my last night. the project is due in 11 days and they haven't given me any content yet. This sucks. Just wanted to make sure they didnt know something that that i wasn't aware of. Now they're giving me completed spinning product animations in ....get this....java applets!. stupid

Java applets ! You will have fun taking that into Director.
Sounds like you need to stock up on coffee, cafeine tablets, speed, a test-tube of human adrenaline and a couple of eletrodes.

why do they want it as a dvd? so it'll play in joe blow's dvd player as well as their computer?
in that case, perhaps SVCD might be an avenue to try

SVCD????? help me vena how about VCD???
- vena0
sVCD is like VCD only it can hold more video.
- Tyrone0
is authoring on sVCD the same as a CD or a DVD???
- vena0
it's a video format that goes on a regular CD but many set-top DVD players can play the format.
so you can stay on CD, and get the widest possible audience.
