AVI Autorun

Quick question-

I have a presentation for work in .AVI format, and need to burn it to CD and have it autorun in media player when it is mounted. Anyone know how to do that?

I honestly don't know if this'll work, because I'm just kinda making it up. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif

The code is inbetween the dashes.

------------------------------------
[autorun]
open=c:\"program files\windows media player"\mplayer2.exe (yourfilename).avi
icon=c:\"program files\windows media player"\mplayer2.exe
------------------------------------

Save the file as autorun.inf

I honestly don't know if this will work, but it just might. I hope that you are using a CD-RW, if you want to try this. I really hope that this works. (I altered code from what I saw on a Microsoft autorun file.)

I tried something similar (edited an existing autorun.inf) with no luck- do you have to designate location (a little leery of this considering that cd drive letters can vary from system to system)?

I honestly don't know. Here's an option. Use the ./ to designate this directory.

Like this:
open=c:\"program files\windows media player"\mplayer2.exe ./(yourfilename).avi

Sorry that I don't know for sure.

Yep- I'm pretty stumped as to what is going wrong, so I ended up going with using this utility: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare.../cda.html#help

It worked beautifully, and gave me a nice autorun menu with graphics.

Thanks for all of your help, though!
