Re: FN-FORUM: FW: Flash to DVD continued

With regards to getting it to auto play you need to be looking for something
like 'set first action' in your dvd authoring software or as you have said
'toast' not quite sure what it would be in toast but I would of thought it
would be the same as most authoring software ive come across use the same
terminology/words..

Can I ask why you've decided to use CD and create a vcd/super-vcd rather
than a more compatible dvd?

If you need any more help on the 'set first action' for auto play just let
me know.
