mutlisession cds and Autorun.inf

[zmerlinz]

i am making a cd for some of my friends and it has to be multisession, one session audio the other data, but which session is burnt on to the cd first so that when you put the cd in a cd player the first track that plays isn't blank ??


and for the autorun.inf i know that i need something like

[AUTORUN}
index.html



but how do i make it run the index.html i am sure that i need something more than that

cheers

For the autorun part, you will have to make a small program that will load the html file using shellexecute. I got some code from someone on this site for a C++ project that will load an HTML file. I'll attach it, but it won't do you much good if you don't have C++.

There is a compiled EXE in the release folder that will load index.html from the CD.

For the multisession... if you use a good program like Nero, I think you are able to choose whether it is read as an audio CD or as a data CD. I haven't been able to make it work as an audio CD on the first track, but I haven't really put much thought into it. I know that it is possible though because the HyperCDs that you can buy let you play the first track.

[autorun]
open=whatever.exe


I dunno about the multisession thing.

You don't need C code to open it. Just write a batch file:

start index.html

That should work fine in Windows.

I liked my C++ program better. It makes it more professional looking, and when I burned it I used ResHack to change the icon of the program so it looks good when you look at the icon for the CD-ROM in My Computer.

To find out more about the autorun.inf file and it's capabilities, take a gander over at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...play_cmds.asp. You can add icons, shellexecute, among other things.

I use AutoPlayMenu, or something like that (can't remember the name as I don't have installed at the moment ), it's pretty easy to use, and I know there's a cracked version floating about, because I have it
