    Can I create a DVD Installer

    I have a program ready to go but I would like to install some DV-AVI video files with the installer. I don't want to compress the video to some other format. But naturally, the video files are large will not fit on a couple of CDs. Is there any way I can create an installer that installs from a DVD? I've done some searching here and elsewhere online and I can't find anything that talks about this. Is it even possible?

    Thanks for any help.

    Jerry

    Of course you can. If you have a DVD reader and it is reconized by your system as another drive. An installation does not care about the drive media it is installed from (hard disk, CD, DVD, Ram Drive) are all the same to it.

    So if I create a setup.exe with an autorun file, it should work just like a cd?

    As long as your DVD is referenced with a drive letter...

    You must note that many people dont have DVD drives, but they are becoming standard in most newer computer. Might want to take that into consideration.
