The multimedia applications bring into the education process new possibilities of information presentation and their transfer to the students. By suitable combination of different kind of information (video, sound, text, picture) they let us create a study material that can help students easily understand and accept the discussed problems. Especially useful is their using in the subjects of mechanical engineering study-lines where it is necessary to inform the students of a great deal of technical principles and practice applications. So processed information broadens the theoretical knowledge and at the same time let us intermediate more information by simplier, cheaper and time saving way than for instance by an excursion in the praxis. Creation of such a multimedia application is often at the shoulder of the pedagogues and can be very demanding according to the type of solved problem and contents intention. The paper describes different approaches to creation of multimedia applications.
