Has anyone tried burning wave files to a DVD? Will the HU in the TL play them? Im not looking for the DVD audio stuff or the 5.1 stuff just regular wave files.

 

It won't work (and it's been tried). The TL won't play anything off of a DVD unless it's a DVD-Audio.

There is no such thing as a regular WAV file, but I think what you're trying to say is that you want to playback CD-Quality WAV files (44.1khz, 16 bit audio). That said, you can burn them to a DVD in DVD-Audio format using a program called DiscWelder (www.discwelder.com). There are three versions availlable, but I would suggest buying the $100 DiscWelder Bronze.

It works great for putting up to 99 tracks of CD-quality audio tracks onto one physical disc.

Here are some reference threads:

Is there any free or shareware software out there that will do what discwelder does? I'd like to burn some dvd-audios, but $100 is a bit steep.

 

None that I am aware of. Discwelder Bronze is the least expensive DVD Audio Authoring software I have seen.

Who has the more expensive Discwelder Steel.

 

Have you tried using Discwelder and does it work in your TL ?

 

Someone should buy the SW and put it out on Kazaa :shit:

 

I know! I've been lookin through P2P programs and can't find it.

Also in another forum it was said you must use a DVD-R not a DVD+R. I have not tested this full theory yet. The weird thing is the quick reference guide to the TL plainly states that DVD-R and DVD-RW will not work. They don't mention DVD+R.. however it's really a DVD+R that won't work?

 

Yes, and yes. Make sure you use DVD-R media.
