Software for newsletter

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any software that can create a newsletter (with video embedded or as links, text articles, etc) on dvd or similar? Basically to distribute as Newsletter DVD whereby you make up your content and then give it a front-end (gui) so that when the dvd opens it automatically brings up the gui/menu. I dont need a DVD type menu per se; it must be more of a newsletter creation with the audio/video content/links on the dvd.

    This may be more of a programming job and may not be as easy is it may sound.

    I have my own digital marketing company and if you send me a PM with the full spec of what you want, I can ask at our end to see if this is something we could do? Generally with programming anything's possible.

    To do it yourself though I'm sorry but can't think of any software off the top of my head to do this easily.

    That sounds very much like a website! You know, like this site you're using and reading now for information.

    You'd be better emailing people a link to a site or blog and putting the content on there. You have made -what is a simple thing ie a website- sound overly technical and complicated.

    And I'd not trust a DVD-R or DVDROM because plenty of people will have problems playing them.

    It may sound easy in theory but the OP doesnt want a website by the sounds of it otherwise they would said so.

    They specifically want it on a disc.
