The menu front end is the first thing a user of your CD-ROM will see, and because the first impression is always critical, you should design your CD-ROM menus with great care. And that is easy with Discstarter.
Discstarter is an industry-leading solution for HTML-based CD-ROM menus and offline content.
Many major companies from around the world already use the Discstarter to successfully implement their start menus and front ends for software CD-ROM’s, E-Learning publications, electronic catalogues, handbooks, digital business cards or company and product presentations. Discstarter is also used by leading magazine publishers to create professional covermount CD-ROM menus.
Discstarter is a highly customizable offline browser that allows you to create professional looking CD-ROM menus and front ends out of favourable and easy to create HTML pages that meet the highest demands on quality and reliability! No programming knowledge is required and time consuming familiarization with complex authoring tools is not necessary as well.
As programming a classical CD-ROM menu using a programming language or an authoring system is usually a very complex, time-consuming, error-prone and relatively expensive job, the solution is Discstarter: Create your CD-ROM menus with HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) in the same way as Web pages are built.
All the disadvantages of HTML-based CD-ROM menus (such as unprofessional look and feel in a normal browser window or errors that are related to security features of modern browsers such as popup blocker or blocking EXE files) can be swept away by Discstarter with only a few clicks.
Features:
-Front ends for Discstarter are made of (standards compliant) HTML pages (which can be created using any HTML or web editor!)
-All features of modern browsers are supported (also Flash, PlugIn's, Quicktime, JavaScript, DHTML, etc.)
-The Discstarter window can be customized in any possible way (with/without window border, borderless or even with a skin, optional toolbar which can be customized, window title, icon, etc.)
-Popup blocker and browser security features do not influence the functionality of your front end (e.g. when clicking on links that refer to an executable file)
-Instantly execute any file type in the appropriate application via hyperlink
-Copy and or execute files via hyperlink (perfectly suited for software CD-ROMs)
-Checking system requirements (e.g. Flash, QuickTime or Java) on the target machine and displaying an alternative menu of system requirement are not fulfilled
-Context menus can be customized or deactivated
-Modern effects such as a drop-shadow for windows, a smooth fade-in effect on program start-up are available
-Maximum compatibility (Discstarter runs with ALL Window versions from Windows 95 to Windows Vista)
-Platform independence: Discstarter is a windows application but HTML-based menus can be viewed in any browser on any operating system. This allows you using the same menu also on Linux or Macintosh systems
-Configure a background music (play only once, repeat permanently or stop playback upon the first mouse click of the user)
-Execute any application, even with command line parameters directly out of your HTML pages
-Automatic detection of the target machines language. This allows you to automatically switch to a translated version of your CD-ROM menu
-Headers and footers can be suppressed if you want to print a page within Discstarter - perfect for print forms
-Display a customizable splash screen upon application start-up (even non-rectangular shapes are possible!)
-Optional fully customizable toolbar (define, color, icons, order and which buttons to show)
-External extensions make it easy to use Discstarter with CD-ROM web server that does not require any installation (this allows you to use PHP, Perl, MySQL, etc.) or integrate a full text search engine into your CD-ROM menu
