How to create a flash video player UI - without the flash part

Question

Hi.I need to create the equivalent of the flash option in Encore in the old days. I could create a DVD, complete set up menus and videofiles. And instead of building an ISO, I could create a swiff/flash file that mimics the DVD. For testing and easy sharing purposes...We can I find a similar solution, maybe outside Encore? Muse? I need to create an interactive menu with video links that play when you click them. It is for a USB/min flash drive or maybe for download.How do I...?

This topic comes up increasingly, and I don't think there is an Adobe solution. Nor any other unless you have a player that supports the scripting that would be required. An HD TV plays video (H.264 and perhaps others) off a USB just fine. But even if you had a program on the USB that would provide menus, etc, the TV does not know how to use them. A DVD/BD player knows what to do because its hardware knows the precise formatting that is involved in the disk authoring. And it is the flash program working on a device (computer) that supports it, that is using the information on an Encore to flash structure.

However, the TV does present a list of files on the USB and you can click them to play.

Anyone have any better solutions?
