I'm backing up my blu ray and hd dvd movies to h264 720p for use on my htpc thats hooked up to an hdtv. (the htpc isnt fast enough to decode the original hd dvd or blu ray streams @1080p but it does 720p just fine)
Currently, the method im using is:
1. demux the audio and video
2. converting the video to h264 and leave the audio untouched. Depending on the length of the movie, I'll either do 1 single layer dvd or a single dual layer.
3. mux the video and audio into an mkv
4. split the resulting file into 1000mb chunks (1gb file size limit on dvd's)
5. create an m3u playlist of the chunks so that I can just chuck the dvd in the drive on the htpc and open the m3u and it'll automatically play in vlc
6. burn it to dvd
Now, my question is, is there a way to make this dvd autorun when I insert it into the computer? maybe include a copy of vlc on the dvd and have the auto run a batch file which would open vlc with a few command line options (fullscreen, open the playlist, close after playback is finished, etc)
Is this possible? thanks :D
