The application can be downloaded at http://www.mirabyte.com. The test was done with version 6.1.2 (this version or higher version number is required for All-In-One Protector)

 

Discstarter lets you create menus easily because it uses HTML pages as a menu. You can use any application which can create html pages - e.g. MS-Word, Web Page Editor (e.g. mirabyte Web Architect) or even Excel. Save the document as a HTM or HTML file.

 

Step 1 - Copy All-In-One Protector files

 

Copy all files you want to publish  (the content of the folder Publish CD) to a new folder where you create the menu.

 

Step 2 - Create a menu with html pages

 

Use an application like MS-Word or Web Page Editor to generate the HTML menu.

 

Adding Links

Instead of making a link to the original file extension  - e.g PDF - make a hyperlink link to the All-In-One Protector file extension .MMF or .MPVIDEO.

 

In case you have a single MMF file which holds multiple other files like SWF or PDF and you directly want to start a file, you need to start the All-In-One Player with command line parameters.

As a normal hyperlink does not support such a parameter, Discstarter has a special option to use the command line in the target attribute of a hyperlink.

 

HTML code for the hyperlink:

<a href="mycourse.exe" target="params: -load 'lesson1.swf' ">Load the flash file lesson1.swf in the default mmf file</a>

This command would start the (Player) mycourse.exe and loads the file lesson1.swf inside the default database mycourse.mmf .

 

To load a MMF file use

<a href="mycourse.exe" target="params: -f 'course2.mmf' ">Start the file course 2.mmf</a>

This command would start the (Player) mycourse.exe and opens the start file in the database course2.mmf.

 

 

The file name must be included in ' (and not in ") as this is a special requirement from Discstarter.

 

See chapter Start a specific file inside the database to get all details for this command.

Step 3- Create menu with Discstarter

 

Assign your htm file as start file of the menu.

 

 

 

Add the file extensions to be excluded by Discstarter : mmf, mpvideo, bat . This setting will start the files without any dialog appearing.

 

 

To automatically register the file extensions of All-In-One Protector on the end user PC, add in the line Execute on Discstarter start up: player.exe -reg where player.exe is the name of your All-In-One Player EXE file. Details for about this command.

Step 4 - Build the CD or EXE file for download

Select TAB Home, then Publish CD Project. This creates the menu EXE. Copy the complete folder to the CD/DVD. For a download version see instruction below.

 

 

If you make any changes in the All-In-One Protector project or if you do any tests, you have to copy the files from the folder \Publish CD again (Step 1)
