    I've been creating AUTORUN CD's for ages now, but today I burned a test for a new movie, and everytime I insert the CD, the movie opens twice, I've tried changing the INF file's CASE and nothing is working.

    Anyone know what the problem might be?

    Maybe a linefeed or some thing (I've seen it in autoexec.bat)
    open a new file and type it all in again.

    Tried it, no joy... even tried changing the case in the INF

    AUTORUN & Autorun & autorun

    and

    open=movie.exe & OPEN=MOVIE.EXE

    Nothing seems to help.
    My head is melting... ah no bother. thanks for the reply.

    Are you using XP?

    XP tries to figure out what to do with each type of CD (like launch media player/ picture viewer).

    If you told it in the past to view movies then it will do that, and also execute the autorun.inf giving you 2 movies.

    Thats the problem then. use Win98 or XP.

    Actually I always disable autorun on any PC I setup (in registry Autorun = 0).

    Really you don't want amiga style autoinstalling trojans etc.

    Much better to be in control and decide what you want to do.

    Also some DVDs try to autoinstall their own player, but if you have WinDVD or PowerDVD setup right one click stats the SVCD or DVD video from default drive.
