Is there a stand-alone YouTube?

This is a weird question, but I'm developing a series of short instructional videos for a client and I'd like to provide a YouTube-like environment for the user to play them back. Here's the catch: the final product, including the videos and front end GUI, must be executable on a stand-alone PC - no internet access. Critical features would include thumbnails, short synopsis, and tag search for each video in the collection. Pretty much like YouTube (or Vimeo), only without the internet. Does such a product exist? I'm pretty sure I could use a generic database program and write code to do what I need, but I'd save a lot of time (and end up with a better looking product) if I could just buy a turnkey system. At the end of the project the collection will consist of about 30-40 video shorts (2-5 min each).

Thanks for any help! Jon

Like. iTunes?

DVD?

Good idea. Are you thinking that each video clip would be set up as a chapter? Wouldn't allow searching, but it's a partial solution, at least.

[Take a look at http://www.longtailvid​eo.com/players

There are host of niche video players on the Internet today. HTML5 has enabled people to create simple JavaScript players with ease. But video is hard. In fact, HTML5 makes it even harder. It's not enough to have a player, but you need a player that works in every browser and on every device, old and new.

Looks like a nice product, but it's just a player, right? I'll have to check out the add-ins in more detail to see if any of them provide a GUI that I'm looking for. Thanks!

a really well-laid-out menu system would do almost exactly what you want.
