OK, smacked off it atm!

Both my DVDPs don't like either WAVs or MP3s on DVD - the Pioneer says
'can't play disc' and the eBench says 'bAd dISC' (which is odd because it
also says NOd ISC when its empty..... :-)

However, I'm informed that the Cyberhome (from WH Smits for £49) will play
MP3s from a DVD R/RW.......

Looks like I'm screwed - if anything changes (feelers are out) I'll report
back here.

Yeah tried that, the only consolation being that I now have my favorite 5
albums on one DVD-ROM in my laptop now...

OK, I have a DVD writer in my PC, and a DVD-Audio player. Can I make
a
compilation of multiple CDs at full 16bit/44k onto one DVD-R for
convenience? Unfortunately, the player won't play MP3 on DVD so the
alternative is MP3 or WMA on CD which is fine, but seems like a bit
of
a
waste...




I think so.

Check back here later - I'm giving it a go right now.

Same finding here - my Aiwa/Sony DVDP won't play audio (wav/mp3) from a
DVD.
Shame really, seems quite obvious ...

In answer to the above posts, but not the op's request, DVD audio can be
done this way:

Hadn't thought of that!

I would suggest doing it as CD-R or if you want it DVD player compatible
CD-RW. The way I have done it is grab the DD2.0 track from the DVD-A then
burn it as a CDA to play in my car. Works fine with little loss of
quality.

*BUT* and there is always a but. Some DVD-As have copy protection encoded
on the disc and when you copy it you can have some nasty pops and clicks
also on one track I found a 16KHz sine wave noise through the whole track!
The disc was REM's Automatic for the people. To remove the pops edit the
last 2secs from each of the first 5 tracks.

Noooo I'm trying to do it the other way - make a lossless copy of a number
of CDs onto a single DVD-A....

Yeah I read that, but that means resampleing the audio at 48k and using AC3
which is lossy...

You are mixing up your formats! Your question therefore should
have been "I want to make a DVD-R of audio CDs playable in a
DVD".

That's almost exactly what I said!!

Yes, I want my (DVD-A capable) DVD player to be play a compilation of my
favourite four or five CDs

So far so good.

that have been burned onto a DVD-R

Still going well here.

in DVD-A format....


Whoa!!!! You want to convert a red book CD (16 bit 44.1KHz sampling
frequency) to DVD-A which usually starts at 24/48 and goes up 24/192.

You keep talking about DVD-Audio when you really (I think) mean DVD-V
compliant formats. I have personally never tried exactly what you are
attempting to do but would suggest you make an MP3 320bps disc of you
favourites and cut to DVD-R. Very good quality and easily done and you will
fit heaps of tracks on.

To do exactly what you want to do and you would need to make a DVD-Video
(obviously without he video, menus and include an auto start) and load it
with your CDA tracks.

Hope this helps
