Finally Burning music on DVD's
Wow took me a little while to get this process down but i figured it out. Pretty much you gotta have the program ULead Movie Burn MovieFactory and you gotta have your songs in MP3 format. After that you will have 99 track DVD's that actually play on the TL!

I can understand that true DVD-A can sound great but do you actually experience better sound with the mp3 to DVD-A conversion?
Either way, having 99 songs on one disc is a big improvement from just playing .wav cd's in my 04.

Jay: Download a program called DVD-Audio solo.
Its freeware,...it will allow you to burn up up to 5 disc until you need to register.
fortunately, I was able to find a program called ULead / burn Now
I'll upload it to my file site and give you the link.
also, you MUST USE DVD-R discs.
+R's will not work.
I have a bucket full of DVD+R that failed on me.=(

try the download link in my signature...you don't need Ulead anything for dvd-audio discs...and if you're 'burning' MP3 files to a disc, they're being converted to an uncompressed format...if you read my PDF, you'll see i recommend the FLAC format...but glad to hear you got it going...

IDK guys i tried almost everything mentioned above but the only thing that worked on my 06 TL stereo is the Ulead Movie Factory.. Its free for 30 days, and i allready made 6 dvd's with all different music so thats almost 600 songs no need for any other dvd's really. Just download the program through download.com then you will need to either convert all your music to mp3's through a conversion program which really is simple and free. After that used the aforementioned DVD-R and be on your way! The music does sound great, really and the bump you get with the Bass turned up and the Subwoofer option turned up with the Treble turned up is unreal!
Def. try this i was frustrated and found this to be the easiest and fastest way that actually works!
Forgot to mention when you download the program click on the main menu which is called the Launcher, there are options for movies music data.
Click on AUDIO DISC
After you click on that you will see 5 options to the right and you need to make sure you select DVD AUDIO not MP3 Disc.
After that load up your songs and simply burn

You might be able to get more than 99. The "limit" (other than overall size) is 99 songs PER group. In theory (again, ignoring overall size) you could have 9 Groups of 99 songs each.
Two things to keep in mind:
- They're still from MP3, which means they are not the best quality you can have. Good enough for most, for sure, but not CD quality, DTS quality or DVD-A quality.
- 99 is a lot of songs. In the '07/'08, which allows MP3 playback from CD, you can create folders, etc to manage your songs. Even then it's a hassle to navigate sometimes. On DVD-A there are no folders or even track names. GFL finding the song you want to hear.

Works as advertised. Shame you can't do more than 99 track as there was still some room on the disc.
Also a shame that the track info and disc name doesn't come up.
Has anyone tried burning to DVD+R discs and do they also work?

If you have to have mp3 in order to make a DVD-A, then IMHO it's not worth the hassle. The quality is still mp3 quality and not DVD-A quality. Might as well use iSimple + iPod.
Regardless, enjoy your DVD-a.

The DVD-A Script Guy
I'd bet it probably accepts wav files as well which would be a far better option if you have them.
Yes. True high bit rate, multi-channel DVD-A is a very cool thing. But what we are typically talking about here when we burn lots of songs on a disk is getting high quality (CD quality) 2-channel disks that contain about 6-8 CDs worth of music. You can't get that by starting with mp3s. You need to rip to wav from the CD to get it. Starting with mp3s is a serious compromise many take since they don't usually have the CDs. And no, there's no magic in a DVD-A that will make your files sound any better. In fact converting mp3s to wavs can decrease the quality slightly but it usually isn't noticeable since mp3s are so bad to begin with.

Very strange things i'm reading because from 1st hand experience i can tell you that the sound quality is BETTER than most CD's i have burned in any other format. Again i have an 06 TL so i dont have the folder exploring options, so yea it sucks that i have to guess where the songs are and the info isnt there. HOWEVER it sure beat 15 songs per CD, as with IPOD you have to spend some money to get a decent hookup in order to really get good quality sound, so this for me is the best option at the time!

TO answer your question about the burner problem i dont know what to tell you, i have a laptop with internal burner and it worked fine. I really couldnt tell you if the external burner would make a differece.
Bar none this seemed like the easiest way to burn the DVD-A music Dvd's to me.
Now if i could only get that NAVI hack to work properly...

I did burn a lot of DVD-a for my 04 TL and I noticed a huge improvement in SOUND quality (was going from mp3 to DVD-a). I did the burning with DVDA Solo trial version and it works like a charm.
But after couple a weeks or month in the car, the DVDs skip the tracks itself. Certain songs skips always at the same exact spot. When I look at the DVD, it's flawless and not dirty...It did that with all my DVDa so I'm using my MacMini to play Mp3s & Vidz, it's much better and I get the names display on my Xenarc TouchScreen
EveryOne should get a CarPc or MacMini...it's just a crazy improvement![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I would unplug your external burner, restart pc..wait for it to boot fully to windows and now plug it back in so the computer can recognize it again. Maybe your program will recognize it than...

I've taken the same mp3 and burned it to CDR and DVD-A.
Theres a huge difference just in audio quality with both.

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. I made an audio dvd a and it works, however the EQ's on the songs are kinda messed up. Some songs the bass will be really high, while others are really treblely (if thats a word lol). If I play the songs on my iPod with and EQ setting like bass boost or something they all sound the same. Anyone have a fix for this?

you'll have to provide more info on your situation...like, where are you applying these EQ settings to your songs? itunes?

i'm not sure i understand this...so you're mp3's have an equalizer preset to them? if so, that's probably you're problem right there...when buring a dvd-audio disc, your files have to be, or will be burned, in an uncompressed audio format (wav, flac), thus totally ignoring your EQ settings, unless you've re-saved your mp3 files with the EQ settings applied to them.
you'll have to provide more info on your situation...like, where are you applying these EQ settings to your songs? itunes?

after 3-4 hours of messing with this, i finally did it today. What I noticed most was the BASS.. Quality of the sound was much louder and bass hit like i actually have a stereo system in the trunk..
I noticed the bass actually shook my seats. This never happened before when I had regular CD/MP3's.. Amazing improvement.. I almost gave up because it was so confusing. A big thanks to Adobeman for making the program so simple to use.. and rimz for putting the instructions together... I was soo happy that i finally found the way to work this thing.

try converting all your songs to FLAC instead of WAV...i make all my songs FLAC because WAV has too many variables that could mess up your tracks...may not make a big difference, but i would definitely try it and see.

Thanks for the awesome write-up, rimz! Before your guide, I was blindly dragging music into a burn folder and burning them as a DVD-Audio file (which of course did not work). I love how there were even instructions for Mac! =] Following your steps, I used Switch to convert my music to .flac (at virtually no compression). I found a copy of DVD-Audiofile online since the link was dead from the pdf for me. Lastly, I used Apple's Disk Utility to burn the ISO -- popped the DVD into my TL and it worked flawlessly!
It took a little over an hour to convert 99 MP3s into FLAC with no compression, which was a lot faster than I expected. Thanks again
