Hey,

I've used the guides here and am now backing up my DVDs succesfully to cheap CDR... when i was talking to a friend they said it would really annoy them if they had to change the disc half way through.... later this occured to me..

Most people who do this, no doubt have a DVD drive and a CDRW burner, or in my case a standard 52x and a CDRW/DVD combo. Now wouldn't be cool (or has someone already?!) have a little utility, maybe made in VB, where you could specify your 2 drives, and have it create a Media Player playlist of basically *.avi from each CD, and then launch Media Player and play Part 1..

Is something like this already done?? I realise you could probably do it manually everytime by loading both cds into each tray, and fiddling in Media Player before pressing play, but i never done this and it would be wicked to either just double click a desktop icon and hit "Play my DivX movie".

If i don't find/hear of something like this i may try it myself, although my VB knowledge isn't anything special. but i'll be sure to let this site know about it first!

Thanks, Jon.

Hi,

Well I was in need of something like that too. So I want to send you my first attempt. But beside a solution for double divx-cd's I wanted also something that would support most file types on cd's. I'm still working on that (photo's, vcd's etc.). For now, it's working for mp3's, avi's and normal audio cd's.

The program makes a subdirectory on C: (cdstart=info). In this map you can also put jpg-files, that will be displayed in the menu. They have to have the same name as the main (largest) avi-file.

In case of mp3's, I have two kind of cd's. First the one's with all the files in the root and second the one's with albums in subfolders. Both are supported. Titles and other information is subtracted from the mp3-files themselves, Alas I had some cd's that ware lacking this kind of information. So I put text files in the map CDstart=info with the lacking input. They look like this (sorry for the dutch, but this was the most complex, so the most illustrative):

The Star Sisters

periode 1983 - 1987

redactioneel
Hommage aan de Andrew Sisters door de zusters Paay en producer Jaap Eggermont.
bezetting
Patricia Paay zang
Yvonne Paay zang
overige muzikanten
Sylvana van Veen zang
Ingrid Ferdinandus zang
biografie
1983
Samen met hun moeder brengen Paay en Keeley een hommage aan de Andrew Sisters, toepasselijk gestoken in jaren veertig mantelpakjes. Het nummer, Stars On 45 Proudly Presents, stoomt in juni door naar de eerste plaats van de hitparade. De Star Sisters is een langlopend project van producer Jaap Eggermont die medleys samenstelt van oude sterren waaronder The Beatles. De Star Sisters gaan door met zangeres Sylvana van Veen, die later vervangen wordt door Ingrid Ferdinandus. In de volgende jaren scoren de Star Sisters een aantal kleine hits met eigen nummers.
Zie ook Jaap Eggermont, Patricia Paay, Stars On 45
1987
Paay haalt de tipparade met haar solo-single Stop Me. Wegens het afnemende succes zijn de Star Sisters inmiddels ter ziele gegaan.

I believe that you can do something similar with Micro DVD player, but I'm not 100% sure.
