dvd and web content…
hi one and all,
have a project coming up that requires a single dvd capable of:
a. playing in a standard set top dvd player
b. playing in computer and displaying offline web content as well
have created numerous cd’s where vido is accessed via web menu (cd’s are auto run, bring up menu, and video content in the form of mpg1, mp2.
obviously if i create a dvd normally, i can add another folder (say, webcontent) into which i put all my offline files, and the dvd player will ignore this and play normally…
my questions are:
a. how do i set up the dvd for computer use. if they have auto run enabled, wont it simply play the dvd automatically?
b. how do i link from my html page to the dvd video? what, or rather, which file should i point to as source for such a link?
using dvdlab to create dvd….
as ever, thanks in advance,
leslie

sorry, realised the last header was a bit vague…

When the disc is placed in the drive, it’s up to the user what will happen. When the box pops up, they can choose to play the DVD or browse the DVD or do nothing…
I don’t think you can create HTML that will fire off the DVD. You can certainly have the content of both, though.

thanks edward.
so it isn’t possible to point to a dvd file to play the video?
so,once the client has opened the html section, they’ll have to play the dvd by launching their player and pointing it to the dvd, or eject the dvd and put it back in? (i know, i know, but i’m always surprised at the lack of knowledge my clients have!)smeone mentioned sonic edvd – know anything about it?
as ever, many thanks

I can’t say it “isn’t possible” because I simply don’t know everything that’s available. I also don’t know anything about that product you mentioned. However, one can start playing the DVD without ejecting it and putting it back in by simply starting the DVD player software.
