  The projective Finsler metrizability problem deals with the question whether
a projective-equivalence class of sprays is the geodesic class of a (locally or
globally defined) Finsler function. In this paper we use Hilbert-type forms to
state a number of different ways of specifying necessary and sufficient
conditions for this to be the case, and we show that they are equivalent. We
also address several related issues of interest including path spaces, Jacobi
fields, totally-geodesic submanifolds of a spray space, and the equivalence of
path geometries and projective-equivalence classes of sprays.
