    How was this VCD done ?

    Hi

    I need to make a CD Video-Book for a model just like one i got from another model.
    I have posted the file tree and pictures of the CD playing on the link below so you can see what i ma talking about

    I want to know each software was the cd made with
    Could it be Macromedia Director(Projector) or VCDEasy ?

    Since you indicate that the startup reflects a "Macromedia projector", I would think that it's a fairly safe assumption tha it was created with SOME Macromedia product (I have no idea why you mention VCDEasy as an alternative possibility).

    I'd suggest you open the files you've listed in a hex editor (or even "Notepad, or a word processing program) and look for possible software names - particularly in the "START.EXE" file.

    By the way, why does your "Click here to watch" link to a different url, rather than to the video?

      I mention about VCDEasy since it generates the same directories that i found on the VCD.

      I saved only an image of the VCD playing since the file has 22MB long.

      Thanks

        "I mention about VCDEasy since it generates the same directories that i found on the VCD."

        The folders you've listed are standard VCD format and woill appear on any VCD, created with any software



        "Thanks"

        My pleasure ;>}

          Hey guys -

          Ummm... You might kick yourself for this, but I think you're trying so hard that you overlooked the obvious.

          Based on the screenshots, I'd say that this is a "VCD 1.0", as compared to VCD 2.0 tha we currently use. i say this because one of the features that ws in 1.0 was the ability to create hotspots (clickable areas on the screen for use on PCs) rather than relying on arrow buttons (or numbers) from a DVD's remote control. Since I don't see any numbers beside the various options, I have to conclude that it was intended to be clickable.

          As for the Macromedia icon, that could just be a fluke based on your current Windows setup, but it might also imply that a Macromedia program was used at some point. Of course, whoever made the VCD could have simply stole the icon because they thought it looked cool. It's been known to happen, you know... LOL

          Hope this helps somewhat.
