VCD vs. Flash

[pacmania_2001]

I am creating a presentation CD for a customer which has a short promotional video (in VCD) and also a promotional flash presentation.

I did this so if the customer doesnt have a computer they can watch it on their DVD player and vice a versa depending on their preference.

My question is, if a person puts the disc in a computer will the flash presentation or the VCD presentation play? I ask this because even though the auto run file points to the flash I notice that some PC DVD software will automatically play the video file.

Cheers.

I Don't know about the Flash, but for VCD autoplay, they need to have a program installed, but basicly every PC with MediaPlayer 6.4 will be capable of playing back.

Probably you, hehe. Doing fine, starting Uni and also getting involved in some freelance IT work (hence the above post). I was just thinking a week or so ago about the members of this site who dont come here anymore actually. That would make a good topic actually., "Who can you remember who has recently departed (from the site, not life)?". Does anyone remember Shizzon?

Yup, I remember him, I think those that I know from the start are still here.
They are those who helped me get started, like vitualis, snowmoon, adam &
of course baldrick.

I can still remember the time when you and Vitualis weren't mod's.

You want to remember something from the past ? I saw one of my really OLD
guides somewhere on the net, I think it was translated to chinese or japanese
don't know exactly, anyway, check it out, see how much I improved since:

Nice.

They not only used an auto-translation service so it isnt even properly translated but they kept the same screenshots with the "VCDHelp.com" watermark on them.

Whatever you have the autorun pointed to will play as long as the pc is set to autorun data cds.

If they have software that automatically plays (S)VCDS than it will start playing that also, but the flash will still play if that's where the autorun script points.

Its two separate things going on, just like starting two programs at once.

@pacmania_2001, well, they could have atleast asked me, I would have let
them do a more official translation! you know I got an Official Korean one ?
