I think that free software can make this happen. Of course, it would be really nice if the folks at Apple who like our code so much would build a BSD version of Quicktime. Most of these programs are just collections of standard format clips, pics, and some formatting. All most all of them are built with multimedia toolkits like QuickTime or Director. Tools for unix to display the data formats exists. If there were a quicktime or director clone, then the data on the CD could be read and displayed as it would be on a PC.
