117208 2003-01-29 22:29:00 Hi y'all

I'm currently trying to put together a CDRom presentation (not Powerpoint) that would do the following:

1. Autorun
2 Give a menu to link to the documents (some pdf, some pps, some xls) that are involved.
3. Allow me to 'brand' it

I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone help with an idea on what software to look for/at!

Thanks

117209 2003-01-29 22:53:00 Well.. The Autorun is created as a txt file called autorun.inf that's in the root CD-ROM folder, check out some CD's like the PCW Cover Disc - They all have them on!

What type of link? You could have it open a MS Word .DOC file that links to some PDF's and stuff.

Brand it? Do you mean put a sticker on the top or something??

Ive got MultiMedia Fusion by IMSIsoft which Id use to do just the trick, as that's part of what the software was designed for, however, It cost me a good $100 and although its excellent and probably right on for what you're wanting, if you're just gonna do it a few times, its prolly not worth buying it when Im sure somebody else has something thats going for free!!!

Cheers

117210 2003-01-29 22:55:00 You might want to do what something like PC World does on there CD's. I think they use Flash. roofus (483)
117211 2003-01-29 22:56:00 I would be inclined to publish a Web site to the CDRom using an HTML editor of your choice like Frontpage. You can do this in Word 2002 and save as a web page too.

Have a look at PC World cover disks and use the autorun.inf file to run the client's browser.

117213 2003-01-30 01:10:00 What I've done in the past when making presentations, (combining photo galleries, videos, and slide shows), is convert everything to html (PowerPoint does this quite nicely), then used SHELEXEC.EXE to launch the html page.

117214 2003-01-30 01:23:00 Tell ya what, I'll give ya a copy of my Autorun-Html Utility all pre configured (see the readme), just plonk the files in you CDROM and it will automatically load the Index.htm file from the CDROM.

You can grab my Autorun-Html Utility from ftp://nzliam.kicks-ass.net/Utils/Autorun-Html.exe User=anonymous Password=nzliam.kicks-ass.net

Enjoy :)
