So I tried the Freeware from Adobeman and was able to create the ISO image. Let me know if I am wrong, but I want to burn the file as an Image correct? I used Roxio and it did not work for me? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use Nero to burn this image?

rimz

yes, you want to burn the file as an image...i use Roxio Toast Titanium all day to burn DVD-A ISO files with no problem...but i use a Mac...

check the file size of your ISO image...it should be fairly large...if it's not, then it wasn't made correctly...

you can also use Nero to burn your image file...on windows, i prefer that over Roxio anything...

also, check out my signature to download the Definitive DVD-Audio Guide v2.0...

Thanks for the help. I will need to get a better copy of Nero for my computer. Roxio did not work for me. The file size is 3.77gb so the conversion was correct just not the burn process but I have had issues with the burner on my laptop in the past making regular CD-
Audio disc's. Thanks again

Adobeman

Nero should work but others have used the free version of Deepburner Free with success.

Hello All,

I am amazed of what the sound of DVD Audio, thanks to Adobeman!!
Anyway, I burned a few more DVD-A using DVD Audio Solo. When I created the DVD, I made 4 groups within the DVD. But when I inserted the DVD in my TL, it only played the 1st group. Does anyone know how I can jump to the 2nd or 3rd group within the DAV-A disc ??

do a search. I don't specifically remember which button it is that you press and hold. Try Mode or the buttons near it.

rimz

push and hold the SCAN and REPEAT buttons to change groups...

What is the benefit of the DVD-A's? I burned about 6 DVD-A's and also burned the same songs as MP3's to one DISC. I have listened to both and I do not hear any difference. For me the MP3 DISC's allow the Dolby function to work; while the DVD-A's do not.

rimz

if you have an '07+ TL or an mp3 deck, don't bother with burning DVD-A discs...it benefits us who don't have an mp3 deck and only the stock DVD-A one...

but, if you want some quick info on the benefit regardless: with an mp3 you're listening to a compressed audio file...a DVD-A file is uncompressed, and therefore retains higher quality...turning the music up on an mp3 will give you distortion whereas a DVD-A is very very clear...plus with commercial DVD-A discs, you can hear every single instrument being played on a surround sound setup...the audio is crystal clear and it sounds like you're really there listening to the artist in person...you should try it out for yourself...

I used Adobeman and able to convert songs into 5.1 .WAV file.
But my question is can I use MP3 files to convert to 5.1 file? I made MP3 to WAV, then converted into 5.1 WAV using Adobeman's software.. Because when I add files to DVD audio Solo to burn the files... error messages showed on the right message bar. Unsupported or corrupted.....
I thought I follow the instructions on this site to make a DVD A disk... but what am I doing wrong??? HELP

rimz

cellowiz, WAVs can be very picky sometimes...they have quite a few settings and one little thing can ruin your disc...your best bet is to convert to a FLAC file, not WAV...FLAC never fails...

Where could one find a commercial DVD-A disk? I'd love to try a few out.

i dont understand what i'm doing wrong. I've used the adobeman dvd-a program but the dvd audio disc are just being spit right back out by my TL. I followed the instruction to the dot and tried multiple discs but yield no results. Is it my media? I've tried using 2 different types of DVD+R and none works.

elchapo

roumors dvd+r does not work well..but i think they where debunked...i use dvd-r cheap windata and it worked well

Shalooby

The +R didn't work for me. The -R work fine.

One quick question while I'm here. At first, the DVD-A I create using Adobemans software work fine. Then, over time, some of the tracks just end abruptly. Anyone else have this problem?

jeremyf

I tried -R discs and they did not work for me, then I switched to Sony +R discs and they work fine using the same burning method. Strange

rimz

very strange problem...sounds like your tracks are going bad over time, but that shouldn't happen...what kind of source files did you use?

also, if any of you haven't already, check out the Definitive DVD-Audio Guide v2.0 in my signature...it should answer many of your questions...

So since I have an 08', I won't get any benefit from burning a DVD-A disc?

rimz

you won't notice a huge DIFFERENCE...the benefit can vary from person to person...but personally, i wouldn't waste my time burning DVD-A discs when it's quicker to make an MP3 one...

now if you buy a commercial DVD-A disc, then yes, you'll notice the difference...

PSURob12

any tips on some commercial ones? Basically, I'm a modern rock/80's rock/techno trance lover....any of the above I'd def pick up on DVD-A

rimz

i've only got Crystal Method - Legion of Boom and Porcupine Tree - In Absentia on DVA-A discs, but they are awesome!

you can hear every single instrument on the Porcupine Tree disc...as if you were there on stage with them...and the Legion of Boom is just badass...

PSURob12

Got legion of boom today. WOW!!!!

What kind of music is porcupine tree? I would like to get a few more DVD-A discs :o

rimz

haha...awesome!

porcupine tree is called progressive rock...whatever that is...
