I think to make it with a FreeBSD box, html pages, PostgreSQl or Mysql and Netscape 3 (that can disable everything like close buttons, navigation toolbars and so on...) But there is a thing that I am not sure how to implement. He asked me to show some video trails too ... I can make them in any format I like, but I am not sure how I can play them back... Xanim can do the job for me ? Netscape can play any video format natively ? It's not a problem to launch an external program from the html itself, but it has to works... So I am looking for suggestions: 1) Which kind of format have I to use (mpeg, avi etc ... ) ?? 2) Which program have I to use (xanim, netscape itself ...) ?? 3) Which kind of (sound) hardware works best with pcm0 drivers (and with the tool at point 1) ? Thanks for your time ...
