I want to write a custom DVD player using python that plays for 30 seconds, then pauses and asks a question. Once the question is anwered, it tells the user if they are right or wrong and gives them a Resume button to resume DVD playback. How do I do this. I have never written a DVD player before, but I am open to learning!

There's an example here (VPLAYER.PY)

Gstreamer bindings for Python won't do Mr. Brown much good on his windows box (which he said is his platform in another post).

Any ideas? This is for an educatioal software DVD I am working on. It will be enhanced for the computer. This is where the custom player comes in.

I don't know what media player libraries are available for Windows, but I do know that the spin-up and seek time for DVDs approaches 30 seconds so if you are only showing 30s clips, your user may spend half their time waiting which is probably frustrating.

OK, so this is probably not such a great idea?
