b) the best video formats are going to be whatever the network admins already allow, if that's a consideration as most corporate pcs are locked down with limited user accounts which usually limits the user's codecs to whatever is already installed. Otherwise, Director supports whatever codec is already installed and can be played by windows media (default install). Also, if quicktime is installed or can be installed then whatever codec is supported by the default quicktime install. After that, you get into custom codec install territory which you cannot rely upon at all from one system to another... there's also the MPEGAdvance Xtra which you might want to look into.

My initial reaction to this was to consider FLV files (Flash video) - no need to install anything or rely on codecs when using the Flash Asset xtra

d) sorry, I cannot include a reference site of a sample corporate e-learning system.... they tend to be custom built and usually for 'internal use only'.

You perhaps wnat to look into SCORM compliance: <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/director/articles/director_scorm.html>
