What software is best for creating nice data CD?

[hargi]

Hi all,

Wonder if any of you know a nice way of making a CD.

What it is, is we have a range of resources, powerpoints word files etc aranged by folders. which we need to distrobute via DVD or CD. I would like to create a nice from end for this and auto run. I have done this before with Director but have seen that adobe also do Authorware 7 that claims to do this. Any of you have sugestions.

TIA

Not done this in ages, but the last time I wanted a front end to auto run when the disc was inserted, I simply made a HTML file with links to each app, the created an autorun.ini to call the html and put it and the html in the root of the CD... worked a treat.

Cheers UKDTweak,
I was thinking about something a bit more interactive than static HTML, More kind of like a demo / cever disk interface

You still can, with HTML you can make the screen how you want, not just plain links..., you could even save the file as a .HTA, this may only work on windows machines though.

is there a way of doing something in the autorun.ini file that says
if windows machine autorun start.htm
else (if mac) or IE not installed run start.html or start.swf ?
