There was, I think, a version of Scala Multimedia (a presentation program) for CDTV, which might run on plain-vanilla CD-ROM drives if you can find it. Almathera sells Video Creator, which is hard to describe but lets you do music-video type funky stuff to incoming/outgoing video. But it's a CD32 disc and may not run on a plain-vanilla drive. Another CD-ROM Amiga disc (from a British outfit) lets you develop multimedia applications that can later be saved off to hard drive for mastering onto CD-ROM. There's also a basic genlock program that comes on CDTV disc with the CDTV genlock, which would be useless to you except that a couple of places are now clearing out the bundle for $25, so maybe the disc itself would be useful. The Knowledge Media Multimedia disc includes a free copy of VIVA, a commercial multimedia authoring program for the Amiga. Safe Harbor was selling that one. It's a plain vanilla CD-ROM that also has executables for other computer platforms plus images, sounds, etc. Good deal.
