I have tried reconverting these files over and over and I am positive they are in the proper format... I am trying to burn 3 files, all are about an hour long in length each... Whenever I try to run the program the program the ISO file always ends up being like 12kb or around that... What can I do to fix this problem? Any help will be appreciated!

About songs ending prematurely...
The only time I experienced this was when I used a different CD drive than usual to extract the wav files. It was ripping along at >4x and many of the songs on the resultant DVD-A ended abruptly. When I went back to using the drive I usually use that extracts at around 2x everything was fine.
All I can guess is that in my case there were some errors introduced by the faster ripping and that either the dvda_author code or the TL player is not able to deal with them as well as something like Windows media player or similar.
I have seem many documents that suggest slower ripping and or burning as curative to disk problems. I know nobody wants to wait but sometimes it is better. So if you can rip slower try that (2x to 3 x). Also try burning at <=4x.

(sorry)Please post some more detail about the file type, sample rate, #channels, etc. The process does not work on multichannel. 2 channel wavs at 44.1Khz/16bit work best. Also 3 files at one hour each sounds like a lot to fit on the disk unless you are using low sample rates or DL disks. A screen dump would help to if you want to PM that to me.

The will not play in regular cd players or most computers though. You need a DTS sound card. If you try and play them, you'll get white noise.
The sound is better than the 5.1 dvd's I've made so far. Its like my own little driving theater.
Hotel California is AWESOME and so is Pink Floyd, wish you were here. I have Darkside of the moon in DTS also, but havent listened to it yet

Adobeman, I have a question... my dad wants the audio from an Indian DVD to be encoded onto a DVD-A, so he can listen to it on the TL. Any suggestions as to how i can do this?

DVDa 5.1 program dvd solo
This post refers to the 5.1 dvd-a authoring program. Works great with great support!!
I'm impressed. I've gotten 3 emails from them. They did have a bug and have released a new version to fix it. Here is a copy of the email they sent me. They definitely get my 35$ bucks
Hi Mike,
We found the problem and are testing the fix. Will
inform you when the update is available for download.
There is no hidden setting or manual selection to
select double layer disc. DVD-Audio Solo detects the
disc type and set max size of data allowed to write to
the DVD disc.
Best regards,
The Solo Team

If people from Cirlinca are so good may be we can come up with a group buy deal, if they will develop drug and drop DVD-A burning from MP3, similar to how Nero can burn Audio CDs. Without this feature I will stick with Adobeman's script.

Thanks for the script! Works great!
I tried using Ulead's software to burn a DVDA for the TL, but all I got was coasters. I was starting to think the TL didn't like the media, but I ran your script and it worked just fine. Thanks again.

Help with Adobeman's script.
Hello, strangest thing, if I select "Y" for one big group I get the script saying it's complete in about 5 seconds then says Info:using starting sector of zero, ERR:Error parsing command line parameters, and MKISOFS:No such file or directory. Invalid node-DVD.
However, if I choose "N" to make separate groups, the script works! Would really like to have one big group.
Any ideas?
To supply more info-I've got one album of .wav in each .wav folder, total wav folder size is 3.43 gig, not more than 99 songs per folder. Found that one album was mono, thought that was the problem but no, didn't help. Using Nero Reencode to convert to wav, 44,000khz, 16 bit, stereo. The only thing I'm not sure I'm doing right is the track names. I'm using the leading zero, so I don't know what's up. And if it was the track names then why does it work for the separate groups?
Anyways, thanks for any help you may offer. I did search for an answer to this problem to no avail. Hope I'm not beating a dead horse.
By the way, got a 2005 TL automatic, Pearl White, Parchment, no Navi.
thanks

As a new owner of a TL (aka the “Gimp-Mobile”) Im just now getting into this DVD-A thing. I had originally gotten a trial version of Ulead’s MovieFactory 4.0 and didn’t even know that the BurnNow (included in MF4) was actually a standalone product – D’uh!
To add insult to injury, if I had read these forums BEFORE starting I wouldn’t have created so many dam coasters! D’uh again! Gee, whatever happened to “Age and Wisdom over Youth and Ignorance”?
Ive read where a lotta ppl here have bitched and complained about Uleads BurnNow. I found a patch somewhere here in the forums for a “LXDAEng.DLL” file, installed into the trial version folder of BurnNow and WOW-it worked! Ive made 4 DVD-A’s so far and they sound great (YAY! No more coasters for Moi!!).
I guess now that I’ve discovered I can make these DVD-A’s containing more music than I’ll ever have time to listen to, since I don’t live in my car – YET…. I’ll have to choke on the $$$ to buy the full version of MF4, even though I get a heft discount since I already own most of Ulead’s prog’s,. I read about people having all kinds of prob’s creating these devious audio discs, was I just lucky or did I do something right?
BTW, in the remote chance it helps anyone, I’m using the basic purple Verbatim DVD+R from a 100 pk spindle I get at Sam’s for about $40. I do a lot more of video DVD authoring and so far, after having used about 300+ of these disks Ive never had any problems.

If you really want my scripts to work then we can try and troubleshoot it but it is strange that it works with a "N" and not a "Y".

I would love to troubleshoot it if you are willing. thanks very much.
Some of the wavs are from my own disks I ripped with Exact Audio Copy. Some are .shn converted to wav with Nero and some are .flac and some are monkey.
You know, I got this to work over a month ago but just couldn't get the disk to play in the TL. Assumed it was due to DVD+R. Went to Europe for a month, just getting back to normal and went out and got some DVD-R to try but now this problem!
I deleted the program and reinstalled, no fix.
Anyways, what do you think I should try next?

In our cars there is a HUGE difference between 6 channel and 2 channel
Otherwise having a dvd-a is just a big storage psace for a buncha low quality wave files.

DTS files by popular demand
Ok,
Due to a huge demand and tons of requests, I would like to share a little. A couple of things:
A. I am not an engineer, so if you cannot make this work, sorry.
B. These files are DTS, meaning you can only play them in your Acura TL, not a regular cd player or pc (will sound like white noise)
C. These are on loan only to demonstrate the power of our stereo's. Please upload them back when you are done.
D. I won't take requests. Enjoy the sample of some music I have made, but if they dont fit your taste in music, once again, sorry. This is a broad array of music to demonstrate the capabilities of our systems.
Download the files and burn them like any other audio cd (I use nero) on any blank cdr. No special software needed.
Then load the cd in your Acura. The display will say DTS cd and the sound will be incredible.
Enjoy it
ftp://69.181.212.230 Login: dts Password: music
If its busy and connection gets refused, then the slots are full. You'll have to wait.
If you hammer the FTP, your IP will get banned automatically, so dont try more than 3 times per 1/2 hour
Hope you enjoy.

Transcoding won't make the DTS 5.1 source better sonically but may allow use of material that won't play properly due to the pops and clicks that the ELS DTS decoder is known for.
I've transcoded one from DTS to DVDA and it plays without any pops so I'm going to move on to a known offender to see if I can get a cure.

I also have converted some stereo tracks to 5.1 using cubase and a very cool plugin I obtained. Makes the music sound 10x better in the car.
I may post some of these files to share as well. I just did Sheryl crows new album and it sounded great this am.

Pops/Clicks on DTS
Hi All,
I have a Pink Floyd DTS CD which plays perfectly on my Yamaha receiver at home - but in my TL the first couple of tracks have periodic pops and clicks. Once it gets past the first coupls of tracks the rest of the DTS CD plays fine - and effect is very impressive.
Does anyone know why the DTS Decoder on the TL does this - I guess it is a flaw in the Decoder software? Is there any known fix for this issue - firmware upgade? Do the Acura dealers or Honda even acknowledge this as a problem?
BTW, I have the Eagle Hotel California DTS CD - and it plays perfectly and sounds just awsome.
Thanks,
Kevin

This is off topic but a good question nonetheless and is worth a repost in the main Audio group.
If you are willing to invest some time into this it may be repairable. Decode each track into the 6 .WAV files, then author a new DVDA with the wavs thus turning the DTS CD into a DVDA disk. This assumes you have a DVD burner.
No ideas on the ELS firmware end of it. Might be worth a visit to the ELS website and ask for their help.

I have a Pink Floyd DTS CD which plays perfectly on my Yamaha receiver at home - but in my TL the first couple of tracks have periodic pops and clicks. Once it gets past the first coupls of tracks the rest of the DTS CD plays fine - and effect is very impressive.
Does anyone know why the DTS Decoder on the TL does this - I guess it is a flaw in the Decoder software? Is there any known fix for this issue - firmware upgade? Do the Acura dealers or Honda even acknowledge this as a problem?
BTW, I have the Eagle Hotel California DTS CD - and it plays perfectly and sounds just awsome.
Thanks,
Kevin

C. These are on loan only to demonstrate the power of our stereo's. Please upload them back when you are done.
D. I won't take requests. Enjoy the sample of some music I have made, but if they dont fit your taste in music, once again, sorry. This is a broad array of music to demonstrate the capabilities of our systems.
Download the files and burn them like any other audio cd (I use nero) on any blank cdr. No special software needed.
Then load the cd in your Acura. The display will say DTS cd and the sound will be incredible.
Enjoy it

If its busy and connection gets refused, then the slots are full. You'll have to wait.
If you hammer the FTP, your IP will get banned automatically, so dont try more than 3 times per 1/2 hour
Hope you enjoy.

Over the past 5 days I've served up over 20GIGS of dts music for our acura pals. Now I need that system for a few DL DVDA multichannel burns and cant have the HD spinning at 1mb.
I may put it back online tonight.
How are the DTS files? I also have about 100 multichannel wave files that need to be burned to dvda using dvd solo from cirlinca. Is that of interest to anyone?

Eagles were just awsome in DTS. Pink Floyd was really great. However, as I noted in a previous message - strangely - the Pink Floyd DTS CD played back perfectly on my Cheap Apex CD/DVD player connected to a Yamaha receiver - but in the TL it has some annoying pops and clicks in the first few tracks. Too bad - because it is evident that the effort they put into the mix on Pink Floyd led to some very cool multichannel effects.
I've noticed a few posts by others that the same thing has happened to them with brand new purchased DTS CDs - boy I'd be bummed if I had spent a few hundred dollars on these DTS CDs and they had pops and clicks when played back in the TL...
Very... Very... Cool... though - really just show how good things *can* sound...

BTW, guys whoever listens to Indian music O MAH GAWD I just burn't a DVD-Audio in 5.1 and it is the da bomb. So just wanted to point out that there are Indian (from India) DVD's out there with just sound tracks that can be used to burn in 5.1
