87322	2002-10-08 23:28:00	A few questions :) I want to make a CD-R with photos of our daughter on it to send to various people. 1. I have heard that it's possible to somehow make an autoplay setting to start the browser for viewing HTML files etc. - what's the program that I need to use to do this (since just setting the autoplay to an html file doesn't work)? Is it free? 2. Is it possible to create a VCD from a WMV file, so that the disk can be played in a DVD player? 3. If number 2. is possible, can I set the CD up so that I can have both seperate files and the VCD on the one CD? :D 4. Is there anything else I'm forgetting? :p Mike.	Mike (15)
87323	2002-10-09 00:00:00	Isn't the FAQ on autoplay of any use for this?	Susan B (19)
87324	2002-10-09 00:09:00	It might be, but for some reason it won't open. I'll try again :) Mike.	Mike (15)
87325	2002-10-09 00:32:00	Thanks - I'm gonna try what is says now... now for answers to questions 2 and 3 :D Mike.	Mike (15)
87326	2002-10-09 03:40:00	To create your own EXE to autoload. You can use Multimedia Builder from MediaChance (http://www.mediachance.com). Our college has just got this software at the moment and it seems very interesting. Better than just flogging someone elses loader ;)	-=JM=- (16)
87327	2002-10-09 03:44:00	That depends, J M. If there is a wheel which rotates smoothly and gets you where you want to go, why spend time building a triangular wheel, however interesting the tool is. :D	Graham L (2)

It's just nowhere near as professional to have a PC World (or whatever) loader. As it is to have a "Welcome to Mike's family pics" or something like that. There are also some other free "easier" autorun loader creators.	-=JM=- (16)
87329	2002-10-09 06:53:00	Hi Mike, If you are running XP? You can install "Power Toys for Windows XP" off a PC World Cd & use the CD Slide Show Generator. It Enables you to view images burned to a cd as a slide show. Add only images to a CD-RW drive using Windows XP Explorer and then write these files to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. A new task is presented in the wizard for generating the autorun for the slideshow. Now when you take this disc to another computer that isn't running Windows XP you can still view your images as a slide show Ive used it a few times & it works well Cheers Steve	Steve Askew (119)
87330	2002-10-09 08:15:00	Thanks everybody :) Does anyone know the answer to the VCD question? Is it possible to have the VCD, but with other data installed as well, so that it can be used in a DVD player, but also on a PC with seperate images? Mike.	Mike (15)
87331	2002-10-09 08:21:00	>>>Does anyone know the answer to the VCD question? Not me . But when you find out for yourself can you tell us how to do it too? :-)	Susan B (19)
