    I have Nero Ultra 7, and I'd like to burn in Audio CD format onto a DVD. Is this possible? I need to rip some songs to my X360 and it only takes CD's in audio format, so I can't burn an mp3 DVD. I'd be much quicker if I could burn on a DVD-RW instead of repeatedly burning CD-RW. Thanks for any help.

    DVD-Video uses Audio in one of 2 formats:
    LPCM at 16/48 or Dolby Digital.
    CD audio cannot be written to DVD-Video, only DVD-Audio - and I am not at all sure that the X-Box will play these.

    Will it play DVD-Video discs?
    If it will, then your best solution would be to create these.
    You could use Dolby Digital as your Audio format, put one album per timeline (or VTS) and this will allow up to 50 or 60 complete albums on a single DVD.

    Whether or not this will work depends entirely on your DVD player.
    Some will, most won't - this is because DVD players will look for certain things (depending entirely on their firmware) and usually, MP3 discs are on CD not DVD, so if the player cannot find either a valid Audio_TS.IFO file (in DVD-A players) or a Video_TS.IFO file, it will usually assume that it is going to be a CD and start looking for a TOC instead.
    If it cannot find a valid one, it will decide it cannot play the disc.

    Why not get the TMPGEnc DVD-Author application (Or use Adobe's EncoreDVD as it will do the lot in one application) and make a DVD-V disc using stereo Dolby Digital?
    It's much better quality wise than MP3, the application is easy to use, it will play on every DVD player, you get full menus you can create yourself, navigation is easier, etc etc etc.

    Alternative package.
    MediaChance Labs DVD-Lab Pro.
    Does everything Encore can - and more.
    One downside is no Dolby encoder, but you can get a great deal if youy buy the TMPGEnc Ac3 encoder at the same time - and all you need to do then is import thhe Audio at 16/44.1.
    DVD-Lab will resample it to 48KHz and then encode to Dolby Digital (Ac3) when you tell it to (assuming you have the TMPGEnc plugin).

    It's a much better way to go.

    are there any instructions on how to do this, i have both Encore DVD and TmpGenc... thanks for the advice. The reason im selecting mp3 dvd is to get as many songs onto a dvd... and play it in my car

    thanks man

    If you have EncoreDVD, then you already have all you need.
    Encore will do literally everything for you.
    What version do you own - if you can let me know what one you have, I can help out here with no problem (I am very familiar with this package)
