I'd like some opinions and suggestions as to whether the following
scenario is possible.  A friend has an interactive PC program where
the user accesses info thru a menu driven touch-screen based system.
All that works fine.  Now, he wants to add video. The user would
pick a certain item and then 30-seconds of video would play.  There
would be lots of 30-second clips available to the user to view.

A possible solution is to store the 30-second video clips on a cd-rom
and then have the pc program access those clips and play them back.

Is this possible?  What type of pc interfaces are required for the
video? Is a different monitor required?  Any particular type of cd-rom
player?  Can video easily be recorded to a cd-rom?  What type of hardware
is needed to record the cd with video? Is it do-it-yourself or do you
send it out to get done? Would playing the video back from a vcr make
more sense?  What about access time?

As you can see I don't really have any idea about this, neither does
my friend, so any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, e-mail only please,
