Here is a desktop video question for you. I'd like to be able
to
easily play all the videos in any folder on my desktop XP
computer.
"Play All" from Windows Explorer is a joke, opening every
video at
once. I want them to play one after the other. I thought to
write a
Perl or VB script that creates a Media Player Classic
(excellent
player, BTW) playlist, and then launches MPC to play it. But
why
reinvent the wheel if it already exists? Does anybody know of
a good
way to do this? Thanks.

Download MPC here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358


Drag multiple files or a folder on to an MPC shortcut or an open
copy of MPC! Play begins. The Playlist is filled with the
video content of the dragged item(s) but no subfolders, nor
their content, are listed. However, dragging other folders onto
the open player appends their content to the playlist.

The only problem I have with this, and it may be true likewise
of filling the playlist under MPC's control, is that MPC (v
6.4.9.0) hangs whenever I PgDn a number of (arbitrarily >= 4)
times to get to a much deeper selection.
