When I insert a DVD in a drive I want the
PC (Windows xp sp3) to Autorun COPY all the
..VOB files on the DVD to H:\Temp.

How can that be setup?

THanks
 
You might consider using a free program called SyncBack -
www.2brightsparks.com/syncback. I've never used it for exactly what you
described, but I think it can be set up to do that. Also, I believe Windows
has a task scheduler or something (but it's been a while since I used XP!)
that might work as well.

Depends on whether this is:

(1) a DVD you're creating which you want to have this feature whenever it's
put into any PC, or

(2) a PC you want to configure so that when *any* DVD is inserted, the
default action is to copy off all .VOB files.

1 - Big_Al's answer

2 - Shenan's answer, but I'd add that copy protection may prevent this
working, depending on the DVD.

Thanks all.

The DVD will be one made elsewhere, and protection is not an issue (area
1) since these are for public tv.

I agree but you might search for "autorun.inf", there are a ton of help
files on how they are made up, but a simple batch file launched in the
run command could copy the files. You could store the batch file on
the DVD or C: drive, won't matter since its your system but would matter
if you took it to a friends pc. Not sure about paths with autorun.inf
though, use an RW to test. You can reburn and reburn to test.

Nope, autorun has to be ON the disk. I guess a batch job on the desktop
will have to suffice.
