In refernce to the posting about laying out user feedback video seqeunces 
near the initial presentation, what I have done in very similar situations
is to put the "feedback" in several places throughout the disc. That way the
needed sections are not very far away and we had the software determine in
each case of access where the closest segments could be located.  

As a side note, as discplayers have continued to get much faster in terms
of access time, the concern for disc layout to increase the speed of a systems
response has been lessened ( at least here). 

Well, now you have my .02 worth.
