Hi Colin, I think playing those media types in LiveCode is a big PITA. MP4 can be played with QT. Some others in the browser plugin, if some requirements are met. If your main goal is to display different media types, rather than user interaction, text manipulation, database querying etc, then Director probably has a big advantage over LiveCode. Maybe that's why it is difficult to find a co-presenter?
