I don't make an mp3 dvd. I make a Data DVD as this also stores all of the Album artwork on the DVD. It is my backup of my entire music collection.
How many DVD players have I tried them in?.Off the top of my head, I wouldn't be far off having played them in 6 stand alone DVD players and not had a miss ,yet. Bound to happen sooner or later. That's life.
I have a $NZ 59.0 (25 quid) Transonic DVD player that addresses DVD/SVCD/DVCD/VCD/CD-R/MP3/WMA formats. Guess that I'm one of the lucky ones.
Shame you're not having a 100% success rate.
Good luck

re copyright. Do I really have to spell
it out for you? Insert o-o-k. Maybe
you spell it differently down under.

No forum rules broken, I hope. blanco

633255 2008-02-16 12:20:00 Bollocks don't get spelled down here, it's a pommie word.
Cracked how to get your mp3 dvd's to play on your mates machines yet?
Crikey, obviously you're taking loaded magazines and wondering why they won't fire in yer mates machines that ain't got firing-pins in 'em.
Next time, take your own heat with you before ya Busta Bloodvessel!
Considered using the format that is used when DVD's are recorded? AC3?
Bye

633256 2008-02-16 13:44:00 Here's one for you, blanco- www.audio-dvd-creator.com

Audio DVD Creator is a tool that changes the way you listen to your favorite music. You can create DVD disc compiled from normal Audio CDs and MP3 files, and play it on any DVD player since it is DVD-Video compliant. Choose audio format from high quality (~6 hours PCM 48kHz/16bits) or high quantity (~45 hours AC3 192kbps).

It's from here- www.videohelp.com where there are many more options.
Works too.
good luck.

thanks for the info on Audo DVD Creator.
I've looked at the site mentioned and read the
user comments. The trial version allows only
5 tracks to be processed - not enough to prove
it's value. If the unlimited version was available
for a time limited trial, I would download and try
it out, then if satisfactory pay for it.
Would it give me 85 hours play of 128 kbps tracks?
Maybe I've set my target too high but the more
tracks on one disc, the better the mixture.

Thanks again blanco.

633258 2008-02-17 20:43:00 Hmmmm...I'll let you know on that one latter today. 85 hours? wouldn't mind that myself.
Yeah, the trial of the 5 folders/5 tracks per folder doesn't let you get a full assessment of the programmes capiblities.
Get back to you with more info anon.

633259 2008-02-18 00:29:00 been watching this for a while deciding whether to comment..

The answer is simple, most current DVD players do not support Data DVDs at all, just Movie ones. Support for Data CD's with MP3's has been around for quite a while so virtually all DVD players will play those, but DVD data support has been slow to surface for some reason.

The software suggested is basically authoring DVD's so is limited to standard formats. It would not make a good backup as the files will be converted in the process and so will not preserve the originals. A cd holds more than 100 songs in MP3 format, which is quite a bit. If you want it to play in all current DVD players I'm afraid you're stuck with that

Thanks for your input.
Guess your right, we're stuck with what we
have. It's just a pity that some makers have
provided this in their players but not all ,
regardless of the purchase price or age of
the unit.
Yes, I can get about 260 mp3s on a CD at
128 kbps, giving approx 12 Hours playtime
but I was looking for more. My own player
is O.K. and plays my 1400 track DVD fine
for about 75 Hours in shuffle mode without
repeats. It,s just that a few of my mates
wanted a copy and some of them were unable
to play it. Of course, they think I cocked it up
but we know different- they will have to put
up with CDs. Thanks, blanco.

yeah, I agree with you there.The program I suggested does convert folders/files of the mp3 or wma music files into a dvd movie format with the usual 'Info' & IFO' files that are part of a dvd movie. This enables the TV on-screen "sceen selection": in this case-Album/track selection.
blanco,
If you're still interested to try it in full function mode at the cost of a blank dvd, email me - kiotisass1@yahoo.com - and I'll email you the means to do so. It's not a 'crack' or a 'patch' that'll send your AV whistling and flashing.
I noticed with this program that when it converts to the dvd movie format that the input size changes to almost double if it is saved to a folder. This would explain the '45 hours' playback time as opposed to the 60-80hours obtained by burning in mp3.
Dual-layer DVD9 or doubled sided SL DVD5 to get the extra mileage needed I 'spose.
Anyway, best of luck to you
