Autoplay MPG file from CD

I have searched Google, but was not successful in
finding proper solution.
Thanks in advance for any hint.

XP Pro. Sp2
Burned & finalized a CD with one MPG file on it.
I added (copied) MplayerC.exe and an AutoRun.INF
on root of CD that looks like:

[Autorun]
Open = Mplayerc.exe "Banquet-2007.mpg" /Play /Close

[I know command line switches for classic player are different
than those of Windows Mplayer2]

When I insert the CD in the drive, MplayerC.exe starts
but then gives this message at the bottom:
"File not found".

This is interesting, because the file "Banquet-2007.mpg"
is on the same CD. I think (guess) Mplayerc is looking
for the file in my PC root directory C: and that is why it
can not find it.

I can not give explicit address of CD root because if I
use it on someone else's PC, he may name his CD drive
something different than mine.

How can I re write the inf file so mplayerc looks for it
on the CD and not else where.

Best Regards,
Mike

I tried the following method and it worked
for me. Maybe it will give you some ideas:

How to create your own free CD autorun for
HTML and most file types.
http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/autorun.html

Open the autorun.bat file in notepad and
replace index.html with Banquet-2007.mpg

Burn:
autorun.bat
autorun.inf
Banquet-2007.mpg
on a Data CD.

Place the disk in your CD drive and It should
launch in WMP.

Good luck.
