DivX Autorun

When multimedia started flourishing along with technology, CDs and DVDs were created with interactive, visually appealing menus that made navigation easy. Luckily, with the help of applications such as DivX Autorun you can create your own menu for media content you wish to place on a data disk or even a removable storage device that supports AutoRun.

The application is delivered in a simple package that does not require any installation process on your system, thus keeping registries clean. This is made possible due to the text file based system that you use in order to populate your menu with entries.

There is no main window or dedicated interface you use in order to configure options or make the design. Once you reach the deployment folder, you might want to spend some time and read documentation items carefully so that you don't waste a CD or DVD.

However, you can safely test your creations before getting them on a disk, in case you happen to have an available removable storage device. This increases practicability because the application's features can be used on any storage device capable of launching an AutoRun feature.

Another useful feature is that you can get a different menu for each type of data you write on a disk. Doing so only requires you to use a different picture as a background and tweak button positioning. What's more, the application can be set to run a specific media player and it case it can't detect it on the computer you're running it, the application asks you to guide it to the installation directory.

By simply modifying a basic TXT file you can create complex menus, with arrangement as you see fit. Heavy documentation is provided and there are even some sample files you can use to test out functionality or simply modify values to get your own style.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that DivX Autorun can help you create personalized data disks or removable storage devices used for media playback. Even though the application is slightly outdated and others of its kind provide more options, it's easy enough to understand by anyone and used on any machine.
