Hiya,

I am quite verse in making MP3 audio discs on CD's but
The same process using DVD's, well the standalone player (Sony) although supporting MP3 does not recognize/will not play DVD's with MP3 audio built like a CD.

On the CD, folders with the audio in there and instant-play.

How shall I go about this with DVD's?

BTW,

I refuse to go out and buy CD/DVD authorware so I choose to use
CD/DVD Burner XP
A freebie and well worth the time and effort, small and quite expansive for recording.

DVD's are either +/- and the standalone player recognizes movies on +/- R discs.

Any ideas?

..Would this process for standalone playback also work for car decks that handle MP3 discs on CD but for DVD? Would a car deck recognize a DVD and if so, what type of deck?


Thanks

PS, Soon enough nearly 25 Gigs of MP3's on CD will be made available to the public, one lucky person in the USA will be the sole owner of the entire collection, visit my domain, www.mahlers.com in about a week or so.

Most older DVD players won't handle MP3 on DVD because they were programmed
to look for a video_ts folder the moment DVD media is found, which,
obviously, a DVD full of mp3 audio files won't have. Some newer players will
play them but it's still far from universal.

--Not to disagree with **** in any way, but although it is "far from universal", the players that DO have this feature
are very very clearly marked and comprise a goodly majority of the new machines, particularly the portables and semi-portables,
and also the el cheapos which of course, will even play a peanut butter samwidge if you can figure out a way to finalize the peanut butter stream.

I have a Cyberhome unit that even plays Quicktime .mov files, which, as you can imagine, comes in very handy.
I think I paid $49.95 for the little booger, and of course it has no trouble playing mp3 DVD discs either.
I even accidentally pulled up some Microsoft Word files on the TV screen once when I shoved in a hard disk document disc on CD-Rw.
I've since replaced most of the CD only units around the house with these multipurpose decks. Why have a separate deck when one machine
does it all.
I just wish they'd come out with more machines that handled Windows Media Video, especially WMV-HD files, but we all know what that would stir up.
