Hey everyone, I was wondering how (or if) you guys burn audio DVDs to play in your TL? I did a little looking around online and could not find any clear directions on how to do it, so I figured I'd post a new thread. The last DVD I tried to burn with MP3's, my deck just spit it out with a "FORMAT" message.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

 

I think there is a way. A lot of people talked about doing it. Look it up using the search function.

If you ever need any more information, adobeman is the man to help you out (just look at his signature)

 

Thanks man I appreciate it!

 

do u guys find that DVD-R doesnt work DVD+R works? or does it not matter

 

Yeah..the newer DVD players play DVD+R and DVD-R..the oder ones only play DVD+R..it's a super Minute difference in formatting...

 

You should download a program called NERO START SMART..it's easy and free...on there...they give you a bunch of options on burning things...it lets you burn MP3 DVD's..I know it works because I do it daily..

 

These MP3 DVD´s can be played In the tl?

 

I had the opposite experience. My player wouldn't play DVD+Rs but will play DVD-Rs and RWs. I use Cirlinca DVD-Audio Solo to copy CD .wav tracks to a DVD-RW. Adobeman posts his own freeware to do the same thing, but it was still a work in progress when I bought the Cirlinca. Maybe more important, his "Adobinizer" program slices and dices two-channel CD .wav tracks into 5.1 surround .wav tracks--most stuff processed that way sounds awesome. Gives you something to listen to when the commercially available 5.1s all seem to be the Moldovan State Orchestra playing Mozart favorites.

 

I have the program, but r u sure MP3 DVDs can be played in a stock player?? does it not have to support mp3 format?????

 

You can not play a DVD which has MP3 files burned to it. If you have a 2007 or newer TL, then use a CD to burn MP3 files.

DVDs will only play the DVD-Audio format. You can use Abodeman's program to create a DVD-Audio disk.

I know, 4.3 GB of MP3 files on a single DVD sounds like a great idea, but unforturnately, it can't be done.

 

DVD-R work better..I use verbatim dvd-r and they always work
my verbatim DVD+R don't work

 

I have been looking for a way to do this for a while now. I will give this a try and see how it works. Awesome information. Thanks.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the program!

 

Probably won't burn DVD-A - it's not a "regular" DVD format.

 

"MP3" and "great" do not belong in the same paragraph unless you're saying something like "I never realized how great uncompressed music sounds compared to the crap .MP3s that all these kids play nowadays."

 

I just got the 09 TL and I managed to burn mp3s to a dvd and play it in my car. It sure beats an mp3 cd.

 

But the MP3's are still compressed. If you were able to take the original .WAV file and split it out to 5.1 surround and play it, you'd notice a BIG difference. Especially on that system in your 09 TL. That is what they are talking about above.

 

I haven't tried it in my TL..alls I was saying was that there is a way to do it..

 

There is a way to do it, and your way is definitely NOT it. All you are doing is making it more confusing for everyone who doesn't know.

Click on Adobeman's signature and you find out how to make a DVD-A for your car, but it isn't a 1-2-3 procedure. It takes time.

 

Procedure:
1 Rip WAV tracks from a CD or a sound editing capture.

2 Open up Cirlinca DVD Audio Solo, Adobeman's program, or another
program that burns DVD-As. Arrange your tracks as you wish.

3 Burn a DVD-A. You now have a DVD-A whose content is your WAV
tracks. The sound is CD quality.

4 If you want 5.1 you need to download Adobeman's "Adobinizer"
program and process each of your WAV tracks before you lay
them in and burn your DVD-A. It's somewhat artificial, but the
results are usually surprisingly good.

You can lay in MP3 tracks and make a DVD-A out of them, but 04 through 06 TLs won't play them. 07-08 may, I don't know. In order to play MP3 tracks in an 04-06 you have to rip them, process them into WAVs using a program like WaveMP3, then burn them to DVD. Why you would want to do that, and why, other than simple convenience you would in any case want to listen to music in MP3 format in our cars is a mystery to me. Our systems show up the lower fidelity of MP3s pretty noticeably.

 

Whats up everyone. I have a question. I have an 08 tls. When i burn a cd i burn it in dat format. Data cds are good, i am able to put 100 to 230 songs on a cd. That is good and the quality is great. But when I tried to burn it on a dvd it won't pla in my car it just spits it out. Does anyone know why that is , and what can i do to make it work.

 

The DVD needs to be authored in the DVD-A format. Not many DVD burning programs have that since it is not a mass market format.

There is Cirlinca Solo that's been mentioned, DiskWelder and Wavelab. Maybe a few others. Cirlinca is the easiest to use and least expensive afaik.

 

Or Adobeman's software, which is also free.

"paulpain," there are two steps in burning a DVD-A. First you have to create the DVD-A structure, which requires specific software that can write that format. Then you have to burn the relevant files onto a DVD-A, which you can do with pretty much any software that lets you burn files to a DVD (Roxio came with my PC and it's worked fine for this purpose). Note that if you run Adobeman's software using Vista, you won't see the two .ISO files when you change to the directory where they're stored. Click the button that says something like "View Compatibility Files" and then you'll see them.
