CD / DVD Auto-Insert Program
This interface allows you to modify the currently active "on-insert" CD and DVD Program and to associate it with Zoom Player in particular. No setting is active until the Apply button is used, thus allowing you to add command line parameters. If you're using Zoom Player as the auto-insert program, you may want to read the command line parameter list.

DVD Trailers Definition file
Zoom Player allows for a sort of Theater mode in which trailers will be played prior to the actual movie. To control which trailers are played and where from, a Trailer Definition File is used. A sample definition containing full documentation can be found within the Zoom Player directory ("default.trailers").

Override DVD Drive / Path
When cleared, Zoom Player will try to automatically detect the drive holding the DVD media. However, if you have more than one drive or want to try playing off hard disk (may or may not work, depends on decoding filter), feel free to enter a specific location. Please note that you can always open the "VIDEO_TS.IFO" file from any valid DVD-Rip location to have it automatically opened from that path.

DVD Auto-Execute
Zoom Player can detect a PAL/NTSC DVD before it is actually played and allows you to execute an external program or script before playing the title. This is especially useful when working with external components such as setting a special refresh rate according to PAL/NTSC discs just before they are played. There is also an entry to run an external program when the DVD is stopped. This is useful to restore any system settings after DVD playback has stopped. Enabling the "Wait for the Executed Application to Close" checkbox ensures that Zoom Player will not proceed until the executed application has closed.
