I don't know if it already exist on opensource world, but what about a new "openchessmedia" format?!, any videofile with subtitles in the way of a "pgn" file would do the job!, it's a very powerfull idea (thanks Esteban) and i believe it's worth it to try... (fot those of you who knows how to ge into that stuff!!! ::)

Yes, is true.
Altough, I suppose that thats DVDs are not other thing that a video with a PGN as subtitle (or at least, It would be a good idea to make a ChessDVDPlayer). It would be investigated to learn about the structure of thats CDs with a software like Gaupol or a DVD ripper. If this subtitle file be encripted, someone would renderized it in a file of form of a timeseries. It is not important the data, the important thing is catch the moments at the moves are played. For example: If I have a game 1.e4 e5 2.Cf3 Cc6, a subtitle file would be like _ _ _ _ _ _ 1.e4_ _ _ _ e5 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _2.Cf3_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Cc6
where each space is a frame in the video
I am hipoteting that In a encoded format the format would be presented like: _ _ _ _ _ _ FTY&%_ _ _ _ ()UIRF _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _HV&J_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IUIU(/
If I know the game played, There are no limitations to reproduce the game

    Hi!


        will Scid have a tool to view the animated videobooks (that
         combine the escriture, a winboard and the video
        simultaneosly) of chess?
        is this something reachable or is panningful difficult?

        I drop in concience when lans week went to my chess-librarian,
        ask for cd's, and more than a half were video-chessgames


    If you refer to ChessBase video tutorials and stuff (ie. things
    called ChessMedia) I fear this is not possible for some reasons:

    - ChessBase database format is undocumented
    - ChessMedia relies on WindowsMedia framework
    - Both is quite tied to the Windows platform

    Therefore, I fear you'll have to use the ChessBase player that
    comes with such DVDs.
