ok i deleted all files from switch and dvd audiofile from my hd using find.
i then downloaded them again and left them on my desk top.
i then changed the settings in switch to read PCM, STEREO, 48000, 2 Channels.
once switch finished converting, i opened dvd audiofile (still on my desktop) and tried to make the .iso image.
nothing! still the same progress bar not moving.
i then searched again for files and it left this file in my users folder.
WavCodec.wff
what the hell am i doing wrong? please help

heh, i've also got the WavCodec.wff file...i haven't deleted that though...i'm at work, but when i get home, i'll make a quick dvd-audio disc and see if i can find where your problem might be...it's been over a month since i last burned a dvd-audio disc, so i may be overlooking something...
in the meantime, i did find this on the developer's site for dvd-audiofile: dvd-audiofile 0.74... this version is unreleased (at least i haven't seen it anywhere), but it's the latest version...i'll have to try it out myself when i get home...

rimz--- i just downloaded the .74 and it worked like a charm again. thats so weird and knowing myself i just want to know why it didnt work in .73. now i only did one track to see but it worked.
do u think i will have any problems putting both switch and dvdaudiofile in my applications??? i couldnt imagine keeping them on my desktop the whoile time...what do u think? i will try to do a full dvd later and let you know how it goes. thanks so much for all ur help!! i do, as well as others iam sure, appreciate it!!
btw, ck out my site for downloads if u like house/trance beatz!!!!! u the man!!

alright, i've figured it out...and i'm sure this is everyone's problem on here who hasn't had success yet...first, let me start by saying things are always easier to solve when you go back and repeat the process you've had success with in order to help others... 
that being said, i successfully created another dvd-audio disc to find the problem...you'll see this message when it's done writing the iso image...
okay, so what the hell is the problem...? switch and itunes, that's the problem...the solution? quicktime! ...if you did what i posted up above in post #39 by exporting your mp3 files to wav using quicktime, you should have had success creating your dvd-audio disc...it all came back to me while i was creating a temp dvd-audio disc...you have to use quicktime to create dvd-audio discs using dvd-audiofile....you can only use switch (and probably itunes) if you're going to create dvd-audio discs through solo dvd audio...so, i hate to disappoint you by making the process more time consuming, but in order to get the job done, use quicktime with dvd-audiofile...here's the settings i use for my wav output in quicktime:
i find you can export quicker if you open like 20 mp3's at once in quicktime and just hit the APPLE key + E on the keyboard to bring up the export window...then just hit enter because it will use your previous settings when you exported...it'll go by quicker the more you get used to it...finally, when they're all converted to wav files, just drop them into dvd-audiofile and create the iso...
your problem should be solved after following these steps...

Hey Rimz,
Thanks for all your suggestions! They're much appreciated! So i downloaded .74 and it didn't hang like it did before. And I used Switch (will still try the Quicktime trick in case it doesn't work) But I have a couple questions. DVD-audiofile created the .ISO in like a split second ( I only have like 66 songs in the test I'm doing). Does that sound normal? Also the .ISO that was created is only 848 KB. Then in Toast, I mounted the .ISO and burned the DVD onto a DVD-R and it seemed like it burned properly but duh, I realized that the mounted image was completely empty. I know I must be doing something bonehead here but I can't figure it out. With your help I've gotten oh so close to getting it to work but do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong?

UPDATE:
So I tried exporting one file using your Quicktime method and the ISO took longer than before so it seems to have worked unlike Switch. AND it's not an empty file! So I'll experiment with a few more files so I don't waste a whole DVD on one song!

So for those that have this working, how many songs/minutes of CD quality audio can you get on one DVD? Is it limited to 99 files and 1 group using these programs?

thanks for ur reply rimz. ur helping me as well as many others iam sure, so its not a waste at all!!!!!
i tried the quicktime export. iam only running 10.3.9. ......and when i open quicktime, you can only export with quicktime pro. is that what you are using?
can u export using quicktime 7.1.3? am i doing something wrong...?
i hope putting both switch and dvd audiofile in my applications folder will allow it to still work. it should!
i also am afraid the run disc utility and repair/verify permissions. last time i did that the programs didnt work. dont know why...?
well lets hope the new version fixed any bugs/fixes etc. like always,, i will keep you updated!!! thanks so much

putting both of those programs in your applications folder should still allow you to use them with no problems...and after repairing your permissions, some programs may go a lil crazy for some reason...it has something to do with fixing some system permissions i think, causing some programs to act differently...i would repair your permissions, then put dvd-audiofile and switch in your applications folder...

my interior lights and license plate lights are from tec-toyz...my reverse and trunk lights i got off ebay...my tec-toyz lights are white, but give off a blueish/purple tint, which i love..it looks great at night...
i've got a few pics of my reverse lights and trunk if you'd like to see those...the xenon lights (reverse and trunk) are straight white with no tint to them...looks great...

heh, alright, sounds like a run of bad luck...here's the reason you can't download dvd-audiofile 0.74 -> "the site is down for maintenance we will be back shortly."
and that figures about the programs not working after putting them into your applications folder...i've never had a problem with dvd-audiofile not working, but switch is pretty stubborn about where you run it from...that's why i've just always kept it in the .dmg disk image...i would recommend doing that as well...i just keep that .dmg file with all my other audio/video tools and mount it when i need to use switch...no biggy...
i can send you dvd-audiofile 0.74 if the site isn't back up soon...and don't apologize for the number of posts -- it's your topic...

no problem sistim...i emailed you the link to download dvd-audiofile 0.74...my AIM name is 'nextcamaro' ...it's an old name and doesn't apply to what i drive now...
i would definitely update your OS to 10.4.8...it would probably help with your problems since it will upgrade a lot of your system files and java, which is what dvd-audiofile runs off of...

update---- i used the new version of dvd and it now created an .iso image. but it took like 3 seconds to create 99 tracks(i knew something wasnt right) i then burned the .iso image onb a dvd and ....when i put it in my ride,,,,,,,NOTHING....!!!
so i am getting closer sorta,,,,,maybe i will ipod (HD) my converted wav files to my school mac. make the .iso image there, ,,,ipod (HD) it back to my home computer and burn it. (i dont have a buner at school)....worth a try.....F-IT
rimz thanks again for all ur continued help! utheman!

alright, this is the fool-proof workaround...it has to work for you...using switch to convert your mp3 files, instead of converting them to wav files, convert them to flac files...dvd-audiofile will accept wav and flac files...i've included a walkthrough video if you need it, just in case you think you might be missing something...
video -> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1JSQ0MM0
this has to work because you and i are doing the exact same thing with the same programs...good luck...

awesome video. thanks so much. i will try using switch and convert to flac.
heres a kicker. last night i converted 105 tracks in itunes to wav.
ran dvd audiofile this morning,,,,and instead of a never ending progress bar,,,,it started to move..........i was like....""""F*@&@""""". so now i am waiting to go home to see if it actually made a .iso image. if it did, iam sure i still messed up bec now i think of it,,105 tracks measures out to something like 5.2 GB or higher................uuumm and yea,, a dvd holds 4.7........ so i might need to re do. would an 8.5 double layer dvd work?/
but to make a long story short,,,,,,, converting in itunes made it work as well as keeping dvd audiofile on my desktop and working from there. the saga continues....
have a good one!

depending on your wav output settings in itunes, you might be under the 4.7gb mark...i had 80 tracks on my dvd-audio disc and was only at 2.6gb...
just curious...what kind of mac do you have?

as far as mac computers go, apple just came out with the core 2 duo processor in their laptops...this thing is like 60% faster than their previous processor in the new macbook laptops...
right now you can get two dual-core processors in your mac pro desktops, giving you 4 processors total, but the rumor is apple is coming out with their quad-core (8 processors) mac pro desktops by the end of this year or in january...that's what i'm waiting for...intel just released their quad-core processors, so now it's all up to apple when they'll release their computers with these in them...some might consider this overkill and that you don't need that many processors, but in the near future everything we do will be able to handle multiple processors, so why not be prepared, right? ...plus my current powermac g4 desktop has lasted me about 5 years now and still performs just as well as some of the latest PC's, so i want something that will do the same for me again when i get a new mac...

well said!! i was going to wait until after x mas anyways.. even the summer. apple always comes out w something bigger faster stronger. i might want a kick ass laptop instead of a desk top... unless u can talk me out of it!!!lol but 8 processors will act upon b4 you click it!!!? huh,lol lol iam only running the original bubble imac superdrive 800megz. the thing is slow as a turtle. love the look,,,,,,, plus i have over 100 apps loaded on that thing. its working overtime! plus i run my web radio station with a 200 gb external hd. i am ready to upgrade.....as i did my TL.........which-------(read on)
good news--- ur looking a guy who just burned his first 4.5 gb dvd A !!! hell yea. i finally figured it out. i made a 5.2gb image but didnt have a dvd big enough. so i went back and just made a newer one w less songs. so i got 89 tracks on that bitch!!!!!!!. what finally worked for me was to convert all tracks in itunes,, pull them out of my lib and put them in a folder on the desktop. quit out of itunes and open dvd audiofile (which i put on my desktop) ran it from there ----smooth sailing. took a while but well worth the wait!!!
\so in closing- i couldnt of done it w/o ur expert knowledge ,,,like i said u know ur stuff.. a good person to keep in mind!!!!! this is sistim_turbo signing off-----
take care and stay real!!!!

now when creating the dvd-a. Do I burn the whole .iso folder or just the audio folder thats in the .iso folder? Meaning do I leave the video part out or just burn the whole .iso file thats there because after that there was nothing else that it showed for us to do.

Okay, I feel like such a moron. I'm trying to burn the whole .iso image file. I've been trying and trying using Toast but when I put it in the TL, the display flashes DISC FORMAT and it spits it back out. DVD Player on the Mac also says Disc Not Supported. Can you tell me how you guys are burning your .iso? Using Toast? And if so, in Toast, it should be burned using the Disc Copy tab, not Data I assume? I also want to watch the video Rimz referred to about converting to flac files but I can't get THAT video to work. (Do I have to sign up with that website that's hosting your video?) TIA!

digiTL, no you don't have to sign up to see the video...click here and watch the top-right portion of that site...you'll need to enter a 3-digit password and then the countdown will begin...usually 45 seconds then the download link will appear...
yes, you want to burn the .iso image file under the 'copy' tab in toast, then make sure the 'image file' button is selected on the left...i'm using toast titanium 7.1...which version are you using? ...'disc format' usually means the structure of your dvd-a disc isn't correct...so it's either the way you made the dvd-a .iso image file or the way you burned it...
