If your project uses more effects, they won’t be visible on the Media
Manager CD. A VCD or DVD is more suitable for such projects.
The MAGIX Media Manager CDR ensures that the CD-ROM can be played
back on any Windows PC regardless of the software installed. The disc will
automatically begin playing the slideshow after the CD-ROM has been
inserted into the drive, provided the auto-play feature is enabled on your
PC. To enable the auto-play feature on your PC, select the "Auto Insert
Notification" option for your CD-ROM drive from the Windows Control Panel.
If deactivated, you can also start your CD-ROM slideshow manually:
1. Place your home-burned CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Open Explorer and click on the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (usually
D:\).
3. Double-click "MediaManager.exe" to start the MAGIX Media Manager
CDR.
4. In the Explorer window of MAGIX Media Manager CDR, open the
slideshow playlist file ending with *.PLR and start the slideshow.
Additional information can be found in the help feature of MAGIX Media
Manager CDR (F1 key).
