Proggie to autostart DVD and .....

[Drebbel]

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a free proggie to autostart a DVD and then present a menu. The menu should list 3 avi files that are on the cd and one readme file.

When clicking on the items the movie should start, or readme should open.

Any suggestions ?

This program seems to be good:

Or this maybe?

NERO 7 does it as well

I would think that the DVD needs to have been burned as DVD w/ menu like if it was a normal DVD, then all DVD players can "play upon disc detection" (PowerDVD is one)

You sure it support opening a file that is not a movie or a music file, like a txt file ?

Windows xp does this on its own. All you have to do is set "open folder to view files" as your defalt action when you put a disk in drive. you will see a list of all files on the dvd.

Thanks for the suggestion, but XP of course does not present a menu, and that is what I would like to see. Simple menu with 4 options.

if the dvd doesnt have a menu already no program will show a "select" menu. you would have to create a menu and burn it on the dvd along with the 4 files (use ULead DVD Studio 3 or similar tool).

Sorry - you could be right, she will auto open a movie/music but a txt file not too sure.

Run a script using notepad ,i use this method to when making powerpoint presentations, you would just change the name to your txt file
