We are putting a proposal together to master our own disks with
audio, video and computer graphics to be included. The aim is to
produce very low quantities of the disks for use in-house as part
of a Computer-assisted Learning  project. The project is primarily
related to Apple Macintosh, but we may later move into PC-based usage
as well.

To be sure we are heading in the right direction, we would like to hear
some comments from others already working in the area as to the best medium
for this kind of project.

Sony magneto-optical rewritable disks are being widely marketed here, 
then there are the old 12 inch Laserdiscs, WORMs and then CD-ROMs. 
We would gladly accept any comments about price/performance, disk life
etc of these alternatives. In short any suggestions as to relative merits 
of each.

Thanks for your help.
