How do I create autoplay CD-Rs ?

[aguilla]

I want to be able to autoplay my DivX CD-Rs without having to use a menu program in Win 98 , ie: simply put in the disc and the movie will start without having to do anything( my wife is PC illiterate but wants to be able to watch films on a unit I've set up in the lounge !!)

"In my opinion this is the best way to create a DivX or any media file CD. It only adds 100bytes to the disk. Just include the below lines in a AUTORUN.INF file in the route dirctory of the CD along with the video file and a CD icon (if desired). Create the file with notepad substituting your media file name and icon name.

This does assume the user has DivX (or appropriate codec) and MPLAYER2.EXE (comes with windows media player 6.4 and 7.0) installed.

This will automatically play the file fullscreen and close it when finished. Hope people find it useful!"

Here it is :

[autorun]
open=start mplayer2.exe /fullscreen /play /close \video.avi
icon=DivX.ico

i trhink you should even be able to skip the part mplayer2 and run/start the avi file only

this way your associated player should do the job
