Night Writer, OT..OT..OT Not knowing anything of the content of your courses, ie. audio clips, video clips I can't give you any definite answers but if you will have either or both then some form of compression would be advisable and there are compression techniques available for both. Compression could for example reduce the number of CD's required for a given course. If it reduced it to a single CD then it would eliminate the need for changing CDs or else having multiple drives mounted. As for intranet delivery you'd definitely want compressed files. As with anything in life nothing is free so keep in mind that when you compress will be some loss. I know nothing at all about video compression but with the MP3 audio compression you have to have really sharp ears to be able to detect the difference between it and the original WAV file. So, for something like training courses I don't think you have to worry. If you have a contractor produce the completed course if they are any good at all I think they would be well aware on any compression techniques available. If you end up building your own, start by searching AltaVista with +compression +video +audio etc,etc,. Good luck, Robin
