Recently, I recorded a program on to my new DVD recorder. When I put it in another DVD player, it plays fine but, when I put it in my computer, it does not. It will play if I double-click the DVD/CD player's icon (E:) but it will not autoplay. I have done a little research on this & found all my registry settings are correct & the autoplay tab in E:'s properties are set correctly.
Do I need to put an autorun.inf file on the DVD ? And, if so, what commands should I put in the .inf file ?
The two folders on the disk are: VIDEO_RM & VIDEO_TS.
The VIDEO_RM file has the files: VIDEO_RM.BUP, VIDEO_RM.DAT,& VIDEO_RM.IFO.
The VIDEO_TS folder contains: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB, & VTS_01_4.VOB.

I'm wondering... I recorded on a DVD+RW disk. Would that make a differance ???

All I want is for the disk to start on its own when I put it in my DVD player on my computer.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

What is your setting in properties for Auto Play?
Is it Select an action with No action ticked or Prompt before?

In the drop-down box I have DVD Movie selected with the action "Play DVD movie using Windows Media Player.
The first time I put my home recorded DVD in my computer, it didnt do anything. I checked the Properties/AutoPlay & the "Prompt" button was ticked but I never got "prompted". Nothing happened at all.... & still nothing happens now with "Play".
