if you still want to go the way of the batch file, you have to create a separate WAIT.bat file and call it to come up within the batch file that you're executing to start the programs. you can't actually use a WAIT command with windows or dos. you have to use a ping timeout or something like that...

google "add wait time to bat file" and you should get a guide or two to help.

you could also nix the extra bat file and use the PAUSE command. PAUSE requires some action on the part of the user though so you'd have to press enter or something to resume the execution of the bat file after anydvd has loaded.

or you could just have anydvd start at startup and leave it running (Easiest option)
