KVCD Autoplay?
Hi, first off want to say, kwag your KVCD & KDVD templates are amazing... and sansgrip's avisynth plugins too.
Secondly, I have a seemingly strange request... I need my KVCD's (352x240, if that matters) to play automatically in windows. I need this because when I give and/or mail to prospective customers I need it to play with little effort on their part in their PC. Customers aren't going to spend a lot of time figuring out how to play it.. lol. My first thought was to create an autorun.inf file, and I did and it worked... sort of. I used the instructions from : http://navasgrp.home.att.net/tech/autoplay_vcd.htm works great in WinXP Pro, but Win2k PRO with media player 7 was unable to open the file. And because I can't rely on everyone having XP, I must (hopefully) find another alternative. Thanks for any help! ~Nyte |
Hi NyteSkyy,
Why don't you burn your KVCD MPEG-1 on the CD as a "Data" CD instead of VCD, and then you can even burn a small software MPEG-1 player with a bootstrap (Autorun) on the CD :idea: This way, the movie will start to play as soon as you insert the CD. -kwag |
You are quite correct, I tested zoom player and it worked like a charm. Also d I want to thank you for the incredibly fast reply... your board is quite the resource, I know I've spent many hours reading it already. :)
Is there any specific player you'd recomend? And I wonder, even though I won't be selling it, it would be used to display the product my friend is selling... I'm not sure if this would violate any "free for non-commercial use" restrictions. any comments? Thanks again, Kwag. |
Well, you can sure bundle the KVCD Media Player :D
It's really basic and light weight player, but it's also very and I mean VERY small :mrgreen: Get it here: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1736 Let me know if it works for you :wink: -kwag |
Excellent, and thanks for giving me permission. ^_^
Ok, I have a couple of Q's regarding your player. I noticed that upon loading the media it doesn't autoplay, and doesn't automatically resize to 100%. If you wouldn't mind helping me fill in the autorun file, I'd really appreciate it. Code:

Hi NyteSkyy,
You might be better off setting WMP to autorun :idea: The KVCD Media Player lacks many friendly end user controlls like seeking to different parts of a movie, etc. It was really a quick hack player to test different video and audio formats. WMP already resides in every Windows version, so it's just a matter of setting the autorun.inf to execute. This way users have full control of volume slider, etc., which doesn't exist in the KVCD player :idea: I haven't worked with autorun too much, so I can't tell you exactly how to wrap that up :roll: . Here's the complete info on autorun setups: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...oplay_cmds.asp Hope this helps. -kwag |

and NyteSkyy(well-come in forum) a few months ago a do a simple "autorun.inf" that open the wmp or zoomplayer and play automatically.(of course) is very simple! a problem: :roll: i save it on cdr and have to find it now! don't remember where.... :oops: i'm searching! :wink: |
hi NyteSkyy :)
after a long search i found where i was saved the autorun.inf ! (puf,puf,puf)was in a cd with lots of prog burn in october 2002. i test it many times and use to autoplay my divx cds: for WMP7: copy "this" and save as autorun.inf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [autorun] open=start mplayer2.exe /fullscreen /play /close \yourvideo.avi icon=youricon.ico ding=0 cellspacing=0> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- for "old" WMP: copy "this" and save as autorun.inf ---------------------------------------------------- [autorun] open=start wmplayer.exe \yourmovie.avi icon=youricon.ico ---------------------------------------------------- i do it to play divx(.avi) change to xxx.Mpg or what you need,it will work! :wink: change the names of xxx.avi and xxx.ico ! if you don't want to use icon,remove the line " icon=youricon.ico" (of course) the icon that you choose will be the icon of the cd when you see it in explorer(of course) ps: do a test with a little sample and burn in cdr-w. don't bore about lots "of course" that i wrote is my way to turn it all clear to you understand me,ok? :) i think it could be usefull for you! :D interview for kiddin: :Drunk: (me yesterday night) :gun: (my wife yesterday night) :imstupid: (the way that i feel now) :Drunk: (the way that i want to stay now) |

Yes, data CDs are burned as MODE-1. There's a program called mode2cdmaker that let's you burn the full 800MB as data in MODE-2 :D Get it here: http://es.geocities.com/dextstuff/mode2cdmaker.html 8) Edit: Or you can use my old trick, and that is to fire up VCDEasy, and go to ISO menu and drag@drop your files to the root of the disk. Then you'll burn a VCD in MODE-2 without any movies, but your files will be there :D. There will be a small overhead of VCD headers, etc., ~10MB. You can call it a dummy VCD with data :mrgreen: -kwag |
hey thanks kwag,
I'm interested in the Autoplay for my dad who's not able to play my backup of Amadeus- so i need to simplify it for him :beard: ren |
Kwag's micro-player?
Kwag, you're micro-player is amazingly impressive 8O given it's a whole 23K (that probably would have fit on a VIC 20 :!: ).
A few things I thought of that would make it much more useful; not sure how hard (or easy) they are to add: - drag-and-drop loading of movies - info screen with basic specs (res, fps, MPEG1 or 2, maybe audio specs) (ideally displays automatically or via simple keystroke- no mouse menu) - that basic info on the status line (res, fps) Given that you might not be interested in any updates, anyone have recommendations for a blazingly fast loading video player that has those features? |
