Audio CD's to DVD

Lancedrlot — Wed, 29 Dec 2004 16:40:09 GMT

Hi,
I'm a newby so forgive me if this question is naive.
I have been trying to record a 4 CD audio boxset onto a blank Memorex 4.7GB DVD+RW disc, using SonicStage software that came installed on my PCG-K215K with its Matshita UJ -820D CD/DVD read/writer, but have been unsuccessful.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks for any info.:smileysad:

Thanks for your response.
I have already purchased the boxset and simply want to combine the 4 CD's onto one DVD disc so that I can play it uninterupted on my home audio DVD player without the need to change the discs. I do not think there will be any copyright infringement in these circumstances.
I would be interested to know if this can be accomplished. So it's a DVD-A disc I need, right?

Ahh I see, not sure you can do it, not many DVD writing apps allow the writing of DVD-A yet

Maybe Nero does this...

You could just burn them as mp3s to a CD, most new DVD players will play mp3 CDs. As long as you use 256Kb/s Mp3s you will not be able to tell the difference

OK thanks,
So in MP3 format I should be able to get 4 CD's on 1 disc, right?

Easily

You should be able to get 250 tracks on 1 700MB CD, if the tracks are 3 mins long at 128kbs, in your case, 256kb tracks, you should get 125 tracks on a CD, so about 10 albums

If you only want the box set on there rip at 320kbps.

Yeh, just be careful with that though as some DVD players kick up a fuss about what bitrate your Mp3s have to be. Most wont cope with Variable Bitrate Mp3s

I'm quite lucky, as mine likes all MP3

Our Sony one will play all Mp3s, but the cheap one i have in my bedroom (£25 from argos!) will only play mp3s with a bitrate of 64kbs, 128kbs, 192kbs or 256kbs!
