Hi

Before starting this new project, I would like to know if Director is the right choice and also what are the best formats to use.

I did a first presentation with Director using a stage of 1024 x 768 px with quite a lot of 3D animations as external casts in QT format + 2 sound channels (many voice over + 2 bgn music as external AIF files). Finally this presentation plays fine on my Mac G4 but I had enormous problems to play it correctly on PCs. We chose Director because the client wanted a menu to navigate through different section of the cd, turn the music or the voice on/off, as well as looping on/off with options to customize which sections to play automatically.

For this new project, the presentation will be shorter -- 5 min instead of 11 min -- , more dynamic and will also have 3 sections of video 3D animations that will occupy the full screen. Ideally I would like to keep the same stage size as computer are faster than 2 years ago.

Can the experts advice me on what to test/consider before starting the development of the project (especially how to handle/link the sections with full screen video together with the interactive part of the presentation and what best format of music, voice and video to use to incorporate into the Director movie)?

Thanks.
