How to start IrfanView slideshow from a CD?

 

 

 

1. Method: The easiest way is, if you have Windows XP (or later) or Nero Burning ROM (full or demo version) software installed:

 

1.1. Create and test (play) the slideshow in the Slideshow dialog.

 

1.2. Press in the slideshow dialog the button Burn to CD. (Note: The Burning/Nero PlugIn for IrfanView must be installed.)

 

1.3. Choose the burn option, Data-CD is default/recommended.

 

1.4. Insert empty CD-R/CD-RW in your burning device and burn it.

 

1.5. Done.

 

 

 

2. Method: Manual or special slideshow CD:

 

2.1. Copy IrfanView files into the root CD folder. (You can also copy an INI file “i_view32.ini” with your settings.)

 

2.2. Copy your images into the CD folder called e.g. “images“.

 

2.3. Create a TXT file (in slideshow dialog or using Notepad) with the names of the images. If your image files have names like “image1.jpg“, “image2.jpg“, etc. the TXT should look like this:

 

.\images\image1.jpg

.\images\image2.jpg

etc.

 

In each line is a file name with relative paths (relative to IrfanView, i_view32.exe).

 

Save the TXT file e.g. as “slideshow.txt” in the CD root folder.

 

2.4. Create the “autorun.inf” file (Notepad). Write in the file 2 lines:

 

[AutoRun]

open = i_view32.exe /slideshow=slideshow.txt

 

Save “autorun.inf“.

 

2.5. Done. Burn the CD using your burning software.
