ASX-O-Matic is a HTML/Javascript generator for ASX playlists to be used with Windows Mediaplayer.
Microsoft's Mediaplayer has, much like any good mediaplayer has, an option to display playlists. These are small files, that contain information about which mediafiles should be displayed in succession.
These playlists end with the suffix .asx . As I didn't have any clue how to create them, and didn't find anything on the MS site, I created this little wizard to bail me out.
Now you can use it to watch a full cd of different movies without being forced to click on them individually! Just use this wizard to create an asx file, save it, doubleclick on it, sit back and see all the movies and files one after the other.

To create the ASX file, simply use the form. Pressing "Create" will
result in your ASX file to be created in the textarea.
Simply copy and paste it into any texteditor and save with the ending .asx.
First enter a title for your asx file, this one will later be displayed in the titlebar of the mediaplayer. Then define the filepath to the folder containing the mediafiles you want to display. If you leave this one empty, you need to put the asx file in the same folder as the mediafiles.
Then you either define a series of files with the same name to be displayed or a series of mixed names.
The first option allows you then to create an ASX file with a series of the same name, such as film1.mpg,film2.mpg,film3.mpg and film4.mpg .
To do that, simply enter the name of the series and select it's filetype from the dropdown menu.
You can then enter the startnumber and endnumber of the series and select if the digits below 10 shall have a "0" in front or not.
After entering all your data, scroll down and press the "Create" button.
The second option allows you to create a playlist of totally different files, all you do is to enter all the filenames in the textfield, separated by a ",". Make sure not to enter any blanks.
So if you want to create a playlist for the files
movie1.mpg,splash3.avi and oops.mov, simply enter
"movie1.mpg,splash3.avi,oops.mov"
Then scroll down and press "Create!".
