    Export an MP4 of h.264 version of the video and upload it to an FTP or file-sharing site.

    to add to David's post, for best quality, go back to your original output from fcp, do not rip the dvd.

     

    the 800 kb or lan presets in compressor will do a pretty good job.  You'll find them in apple:  otherworkflows:  web:  download:  quicktime 7 compatible.  If you've got titles, I find turning on frame controls, and setting the resize filter to best makes a big difference in quality.

     

    You can also post the video on youtube or vimeo and keep it private with password protection rather than using a file sharing service.

    No... not that what I want... there are several menu pages and many buttons to review. One friend said that he use Encore and put his project as the link and you can check it as DVD function.

    Encore I believe has a way to build a "mock-up" via Flash Export, which may be what you are referring to.  (I am pretty sure it does in face, just have not opened it in awhile, Encore is kind of clunky compared to DVD SP.)

     

    Something to consider is using Toast which allows you to compress the size of the DVD, though of course there will be a drop of the quality of the footage.  But if it is proofing links and general functions, it may be what you need.  There is other software that does the same thing. 

     

    You may also set up a remote access to your computer, if you are comfortable with that and the user could try to view via DVD Player on your machine.
