How to make a single .mov file autorun from a CD?

How to make a single .mov file autorun from a CD?

How to make a single .mov file autorun from a CD?

(OP)
I need to make a cd containing only 1 .mov file and have it autorun the file when inserted.  Is this possilbe?  It seems like it would be pretty simple.

RE: How to make a single .mov file autorun from a CD?

Please let me know if you got this to work.  I am in the same need as you are and can't seem to figure out how. Everyone keep saying it is enough to create an inf file with the following in

[Autorun]
open=quicktime.exe

Obviously this only opens the quicktime but does not start the movie.  

if you replace the quicktime.exe with your movie, it doesn't start either.

Again if you found a solution please let me know.

Thanks much.

Almost had it, just put yourmovie.mov after it

remember goes in your autorun.inf file

Edit autorun.inf so it looks like this:

[autorun]
open=quicktime.exe yourmovie.mov


then burn your autorun.inf and quicktime file to the cd.
