How do I make my DVD autoplay?

Post by prendo »

Is it possible to produce a DVD in DVD WS that will start playing as soon as it is put into a DVD player? By this I mean no menus, no buttons, no interactivity, just a DVD made from an MPEG2 file.

If it is possible could someone give me a clue to how it is done?

Thanks

Putting it in the FirstPlay slot might do the trick (I never tried that).

You could make a dummy menu (black background). Add an invisible button that auto activates after one second, and have it link to your main menu. It will appear like the dvd auto-plays without ever going to a menu.


EDIT
ooops, I meant the auto-activate button should link to your main movie (not main menu).

I see Devil has confirmed that the First Play slot will work too :)

Yes, it works if you put it in the First Play slot.
