Re: OT: Easy CD Creator (was: CDROM Authoring)

[Sean Robertson]

I have extensive knowledge of html (see http://www.zapinc.com), and we

originally planned to go with html, but then as we got into it, we realized

that not everybody is going to have the same plugins, browsers, etc., so how

do you ensure that everyone sees the same thing (or even sees anything, for

that matter).  We intend to mass produce the CD, so buying multiple licenses

for a viewer doesn't seem like a practical option.  I do like the idea of

opera not needing to be installed, though.  Does it have built in support

for midi, wav, and avi files?  If not, can plugins for these files be

included on the CD, again with no installation required?
