Autorun For A DVD

[Bigaldoc]

I'm doing this in XP but I suppose it's a general enough question to post here.

I have a .WMV file I'd like to put on a DVD (it's too large for CD) for someone who would just insert the DVD and have WMP play the file without intervention.

Figuring that WMP is more than likely in the path of most PCs, I created an autorun.inf file that looks like this:

• • [autorun]
    open=wmplayer.exe "filename.wmv" /fullscreen     (with the real filename)

When the DVD is inserted for a test, Windows Media Player opens just fine but does not run the file or go full screen. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, please? (to avoid burning any more "coasters.") Never done this before. Thanks!

I found this suggested solution if it helps

Code: Select all

[autorun]
open=starter.bat
-------------------------------------------------------------
STARTER.BAT
subst z: \
start wmplayer /fullscreen z:\Photstory1_best_trip.wmv
exit
------------------------------------------------------------

which requires a separate batch file. But I would first try removing the quotes, and placing /fullscreen before the filename.
