Our World-Class Autorun Version

2020-05-01 Software No Comments

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:

  • vplayer.ini
  • bplay.ini

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 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 a 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 accepts 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 the VPlayer button is enabled, you can press the 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
    V player uses these values as a parameter.
  • If BPlayer button is enabled, you can press the 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.
  • The configuration file (called autorun.ini) is read from where Autorun.exe is located if it exists when Autorun starts up.
    If you add a section in autorun.ini as:
    [Options]
    Language=French
    Autorun uses these values as a language directive.
    Or alternatively, you can set the language from the (called About box (the selection is written in the registry).If you add a section in autorun.ini as:
    [Options]
    ButtonTitle=Load Codecs
    ButtonRun=codecs\DivX511.exe
    Autorun uses these values to change the Select Player button. The text of Select Player button changes to Load Codecs and then it executes DivX511.exe in the folder codecs if pressed.
    Another example:
    [Options]
    ButtonTitle=All Player
    ButtonRun=ALLPlayer.exe
    ButtonParam=Guru.avi FULLSCREEN
    When Autorun starts, the text of Select Player button is changed to All Player and starts the movie file (for example Guru.avi) as fullscreen mode if you press this button. If you add a section in autorun.ini as:
    [Options]
    Picture=DATA\movie_poster.jpg
    Autorun uses these values to use (display) as a film poster. Another example:
    [Options]
    ButtonTitle=Start
    ButtonRun=DATA\Vplayer.exe
    ButtonParam=Guru.avi /F
    Picture=DATA\guru_poster.jpg
    When Autorun starts, the text of Select Player button is changed to Start and starts the movie file (for example Guru.avi) as fullscreen mode if you press this button. Also, it shows the file DATA\guru_poster.jpg as a film poster. If you add a section in autorun.ini as:
    [Options]
    Title=Star Trek VI – The Undiscovered Country
    Autorun uses these values to use (display) as the film title which will work with the right button menu commands. For example:
    [Options]
    ButtonTitle=Start
    ButtonRun=DATA\Vplayer.exe
    ButtonParam=Guru.avi /F
    Picture=DATA\guru_poster.jpg
    Title=GURU

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.
