AUTORUN |
Quick Divx Starter |
|
ABOUT:
Autorun (Quick Divx Starter) is a FREE utility that scans its directory (or CD), and executes predefined commands when you press Player(s) buttons.
- This software is specifically designed for the Lazy people. :-)
- You just copy the Autorun to the folder where the movie is placed and press button to watch the film.
- If the folder or CD contains any picture file (acceptable formats are JPG, GIF or BMP), Autorun uses it as film's poster.
- If the folder or CD contains any text file (acceptable file extensions are TXT, SUB or SRT) that has the same name with divx file, the Autorun accept it as a subtitle file.
- Simply, you can press the button and watch the film.
INSTALL:
Copy Autorun.exe (and autorun.inf optionally) to the folder
where the movie is placed.
The best way to learn it is to try it out.
PREPARE:
First, you must copy the file Autorun.exe to the folder
that contains your DIVX file. You can also copy VPlayer and BSPlayer files to this directory.
These files are:
- VPlayer.exe (VPlayer executable file)
- bplay.exe (BSPlayer executable file)
- bsrendv.dll (BSPlayer library file)
Optional files:
Or you can use Select Player button to run your favorite
player.
HOW IT WORKS:
When Autorun executed
- it scans directory or CD where it is.
- It checks VPlayer.exe or bplay.exe, if they are exist, the play buttons
are enabled.
- If the folder or CD contains any picture file (acceptable
formats are JPG, GIF or BMP), Autorun uses it as film poster.
- If the folder or CD contains any text file (acceptable file
extensions are TXT, SUB or SRT) that has the same name with divx file,
the Autorun accept it as a subtitle file.
- If the folder or CD contains the file any text file (the file
extension must be "NFO"), Autorun uses it as title release information
and it enables Show Info button. Otherwise this button is not visible.
- if the folder or CD contains VPlayer or BSPlayer, it enables its
play buttons.
- if VPlayer button is enabled, you can press VPlayer button
and it runs VPlayer with predefined parameters (full screen,
auto pan etc.). If you add a section in Vplayer.ini as:
[QuickDivxStarter]
Param=/F /A /P55
Vplayer uses these values as a parameter.
- if BPlayer button is enabled, you can press BPlayer button
and it runs BPlayer with predefined parameters (full screen,
auto pan etc.). If the folder or CD contains the file bplay.ini,
Autorun uses it as parameter file.
ADVANTAGES:
- Easy! You just put the file onto CD or any folder where movie is placed.
- It is not necessary to describe the autorun and write a movie title there,
Autorun get the information from movie filename and it deletes crap
words (like DivxSCR, DVL-verified etc.) and shows properly. For instance;
if movie filename is:
Cradle.2.The.Grave.DVDSCR.XViD-DVL.avi
in Autorun screen
Cradle 2 The.Grave is displayed as movie title.
- It has not any DLL or another file(s). It is just a single "EXE" file: Autorun.exe
- No installation necessary.
- Size is acceptable to fit in free space in your movie CD.
- It handles picture, subtitle and info files automatically.
- If you have internet connection, you can simply press movie image (poster) or title and get the movie information from IMDB.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
- Picture and/or "NFO" files can have any name (it takes the first
in alphabetical order). The program does not suppose there is more
than one movie on each folder or CD.
- Picture file can be JPG, GIF or BMP format and any size. But it is
stretched into 240x350 (Width x Height).
- You can use Select Player button to play your favorite player if you
want, or you can rename it to Vplayer.exe or Bplay.exe. So, when you
press span class=komut>VPlayer
button, Autorun executes VPlayer.exe like this:
VPlayer.exe <avi_file>
or if there is any suitable subtitle file
VPlayer.exe <avi_file> <subtitle_file>
BPlayer button is also run in the same way:
bplay.exe <avi_file>
or if there is any suitable subtitle file
bplay.exe <avi_file> <subtitle_file>
or if there is a "bplay.ini" file
bplay.exe <bplay.ini>
