Hi, I need to distribute 2 video files on a CD for a client.

I wanted the CD to autorun, bringing up a small window where the user could choose one of the two files.

Am I right in thinking that there's no programme type in Opus that would cover both Mac and PC?

Flash may work and so might HTML5 (if you're an Evo subscriber) but I believe there is no auto-run on anyway on OS-X.

Ah. I want to make the files most accessible to the most people.

So I've created an mp4 and a wmv.

Do you think I'm best off just putting them in the root of the CD?

I do have the Evo subscription - I was just about to take a look. But without a Mac, I can't test - and it needs to go for replication tonight.

So whatever I do has to be perfect!

Don't know. Haven't touch Mac CD's in about 20 years.

But if I had to pick a route - I'd be inclined to opt for HTML5 and just burn the files to the CD and check that I could launch the index.htm file in both PC and Mac.
