launch BD titles from HDD with .bat & powerdvd

[rozas]

Hi
I was testing a solution for play blu-rays from hdd with a script or a .bat file
Is quite simple

simpsons.bat

start powerdvd.exe
reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Cyberlink\PowerDVD /v DVD_HDPath /d "Y:\SIMPSONS_MOVIE_F1" /f

choice /n /c 1234567890qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm /t 1 /d 0 >nul

reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Cyberlink\PowerDVD /v UIFocusCDDrive /t REG_DWORD /d 1001 /f
reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Cyberlink\PowerDVD /v UIModeflag /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


with this I launch powerdvd,
write the folder with the movie in the registry
then wait 1 second (maybe in some cases need to wait /t 2 or 3 seconds)
because powerdvd at open focus on CD-ROM unit need to change to HDD folder:
the last 2 registry commands

then just need to press enter and the movie starts

Improvemnets:
Y think that via windows script I can add the 'press enter' command
And also can add the 'movie folder name' as a parameter

I test this batch with several blu-ray & HD DVD movies and run perfect

Maybe is possible to compile a small program that do this tasks and run instead powerdvd.
