DivX Autorun

[Dionysus]

I have just figured this DivX thing out and I am most impressed compared to how simple it is to that of VCD/SVCD. Anyways, now that I've conquered that I'm interested in this Autorun feature with DivX. Okay for a base before I start, I'm not a wizz with computers so this question may sound obvious and dumb to some but here goes. What does it mean by this;

You have to put the autorun.exe and autorun.ini files in the root of your CD.

I mean it makes sense to read it but to actually go and do it I'm completely lost. I know someone out there can tell me what to do in "how to autorun a DivX for dummies."

Thanks ppl.

DRIVE/DISC
|
|
autorun.exe
|
|
autorun.ini
|
|--FOLDER
|....|
|....|--movie.avi
|
|
|--FOLDER
|....|
|....|--divxcodec.exe

This I think you'll understand (ignore the dots as they're supposed to be spaces but when I post it gets messed up), it's hard to explain in words, basically not in a 'sub-part/domain' of a drive/disc. I hope you get my drift....

Thanks man, that makes more sense than the guide does. But do you think you could use an example of one of your movies or just any, I can follow a guide where there's an example instead of what you just did, if not I'll figure it out I just know ti would be easier for me. But don't worry about it if you can't.

Thanks again man.

PS I've almost got it, but what are those lines you used or are they anything other than just to show me where to stop??

The lines I used are supposed to represent (to me anyway) the way the CD is layed out. Here's three different ways of explaining it:

DRIVE D:
|
|--CODECS--divxcodec.exe
|
|--DIVFIX--DivFix.exe
|
|--movie.avi
|
|--info.txt

OR:

DRIVE D:
-------- (<-- this bit is just to underline what drive it is)
FOLDER--file
FOLDER--file
file
file

This 'piccy' here shows it kinda like explorer.

OR:

ROOT............................FOLDER
|.....................................|
|.....................................|
|.....................................|
|the files you want go here..|
......................................|movie.avi

This 'piccy' shows it as levels and sub-levels (the dots are to preserve the image in the correct way, just think of them as spaces again).

I hope from one of these diagrams you can understand it, this is as much as I can possibly explain it, it's really hard to explain it in words.. it's a matter of 'if you know it, you know it, if you don't, you don't'.

okay that was better, I've pretty much figured it out anyway but that helped me to polish it off.

thanks
