Autorun Divx menu??

[nappypastel]

Ok maybe I just keep overlooking any info on this, so I will ask in the name of my own stupidity...
I'm doing Divx backups of DVD-ripped TV episodes...Two eps. per CD.
Can I put an autorun menu on it (Like the ones shown on the Doom9 guides, but with 2 different "play movie" buttons?
If so, how?

Thanks for any and all help in advance.

Hmm. None of the smart people answered so I will give it a shot.

First there is a nice discussion on this at: Here (http://www.doom9.org/autorun_divx.htm)

I have been doing this with anime episodes using CD Autorun for the menu and B's player to play the .avi files. No problem if you are doing this using divx 3.11 to encode. If you are encoding with divx 5, that can be a problem. Setting bplay up to dynamically load codecs works great as long as the machine it is played on is "naked" (no codecs installed). If it does have divx already you will get a blank screen on playback. The only way I have found to work around this is messy....and involves installing the codec on the pc it's being played on. I made a simple batch file to do this and put it in to Autorun's autorun entry. The batch file looks like this:


@echo off
cls
echo Testing for required codecs.
echo.
if exist c:\windows\system\divxdec.ax goto end
echo Copying codec to your hard drive.
echo.
:over
copy filters\divxdec.ax c:\windows\system\divxdec.ax
c:
cd \windows\system\
echo Registering codec with your operating system.
echo.
regsvr32.exe /u /s divxdec.ax
regsvr32.exe /s divxdec.ax
:end
echo All done. Enjoy the show.
echo.
echo Click on the 'X' symbol at the upper right corner to remove this message.
echo.

There are many other ways to do this. This is just one example.

Have fun.
