You need to create two files in addition to your video file all in the root of the cd:
1st file: autorun.inf - with the following lines in it: [autorun] ShellExecute=vcd.asx 2nd file: vcd.asx - with the following lines in it <ASX Version = "3.0"> <Title>put your title here</Title> <Entry> <Ref href = "myvideo.wmv"/> </Entry> </ASX> You need to replace the "put your title here" with your own name and "myvideo.wmv" with your actual name of the video. Hope this helps. |

Hart, it's easier than all that. You can have the autorun file execute the wmv file directly by opening windows media player followed by the file name. I forget the sytax but something like:
open=mediaplay32 myfile.wmv Sean McHenry

Sean,
You might be right but I like using a ASX file as I can control much more that just starting a video. You can control the start offset, play length, create a play list for more that just one video and add advertisements if you what to as just some examples. |

Ah, true. I still use MPG-1 files in my self running powerpoint sessions for CDROM. MPG-1 plays quite well and has the ability to be played on any OS, including Linux.
See ya. Sean

If you really want to do some great multimedia stuff with CDROM and don't have the time or energy to learn all that you need for Director, take a good look at AutoPlay Menu Studio. It's by Indigo Rose. It's amazing. A bit pricey but you can't do what it does without going to director or Toolkit.
Multiple pages, clickable links, media player friendly, mouseover actions, sound, and lots more. I have used it to author CDROMs for weddings. I use MPG1 there too when I can. Sean
