Can I Create a DVD in Captivate 5 to auto-run on Standalone DVD Player
I upgraded to Captivate 5 and created a 4-minute "infomercial" of our product. I was able to publish it as an exe so stores could play it on their Windows computer. I was also able to publish it as an Application so stores could play it on their Mac computers.
But how do I publish it for stores that just have a cheap stand-alone DVD player? Most DVDs the stores get from other vendors have a DVD with AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files on the DVD and this just starts playing when they insert the DVD. I want to do that as well.
Adobe tech support said to publish my Captivate 5 project as SWF and check the Auto-play box. This generated about 5-6 files but none start up right away (although the one with an htm extension does run on my Windows Computer if I first click on it.)
Past Forum postings from years ago seem to say to Publish using F4V, convert using Adobe Media Encoder and then use Encore to create the final DVD. I did publish using F4V and then downloaded Adobe Media Encoder from your web site and ran the F4V file through that. Now I am stuck. Do I need to buy a $1,600 product called Creative Suite 5 to get to the last step and create a DVD that plays automatically when inserted in a Stand-alone DVD player? There must be a simpler (cheaper) solution. HELP!!!
