I am interested in experimenting with multimedia techniques on the
Mac, but have very little experience so far. What are the most
interesting systems available? I have heard that Hypercard and
Macromind Director are popular, but to me they seem a little
limited.

I'm using a Mac IIci, colour screen, with a Digidesign AudioMedia
board and Sample Cell (excellent digital audio system). What are
the most popular ways of getting some type of high-quality video
interface? I only know of the nuVista which seems kind of expensive.

How important/useful is a CD rom or laser disk drive?  What systems can
be used to develop one's own CD-rom or laser disk?

I guess I'm basically interested in creating some kind of "interactive
cinema", with high-quality video (preferably motion) or animation
integrated. Is there anything like DVI available on the Mac? As far
as motion video, has anyone seen/heard of a system which can play
video from the hard disk or CD-ROM? (I saw a demo of a system from
Super Mac Technologies, but at the time it was still a prototype).

I'd be interested in hearing what other people are doing as far as
creative (i.e., non-commercial/non-promotional/non-educational) work...
