Could you specify which modules were used/customized?

There's no extra modules other than the usual core.

I did write a few UDTs (user defined tags) though for the top horizontal menu and for the video and audio players:

The top menu takes the page alias to build the top nav links (there are always the same 5 pages for each product which are consistenly named).

The video player UDT just checks to see whether we've passed a clip number in the URL and then builds the path for the video again using the page alias and clip number (so again you have name the video files carefully).  We also check for a clip number so we can position the 'active' video picon.

The UDT for the audio player does much the same.

er, then there was a download script so that the MPEG versions of the video would download nicely rather than play in the browser.

I think that's all the exciting coding in there. Other than that it was just case of fiddling with lots of graphics and cursing internet explorer.

Always happy to give more details if anyone needs a hand with similar UDTs.
