AVI films with Menu

[JayT]

Hi All, ok what ive recently done is purchase a PC to TV Wireless AV Sender so i can watch all my Media/films from my PC direct to my TV with no need for any DVD conversion, so my plan now is - rather than convert my AVI films most of which are only about 700MB to DVD resulting in a few Gig per film, to leave as they are enabling me to put about 5 films on 1 single layer disk but still have a Menu that points to each film. Now there must be some kinda software out there that creates a personalised Menu that can direct you to each individual AVI File. Thanks in advance for all who can help with this idea of mine.

But wont your 'menu' just be the 'Open Folder to Read Files' prompt after insertion?

[JayT]

Well there must be some way of making the Menu AutoPlay wen you first insert the disk the same as when you buy software, a menu appears and asks wot program you would like to install etc etc

Not AVI->MPEG conversion.
Moved to "GENERAL" forum.

Sorry could find the best section to put this under, as its kinda like Authoring but non DVD etc etc

If you burn it as a data disk, not a video disk, then any CD menu creation program should do the job. You could even do it with HTML or Flash.

Try some of the freeware sites, such as tucows, download.com or snapfiles. They will have a number of free tools to do this for you.

No software required it's a simple text file..... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shel...play_works.asp

ok - sounds good so far, so i can create a HTML document with Dreamweaver then all i need to do is create an INF/Autoplay file to point to that HTML document which will contain the MENU ive created to point at my AVI files - Thanks Guys - Time to experiment, let you know how it turns out.
Thanks Again

I'd get fancy and make it with flash. Bandwidth isn't an issue.
