i was wondering if and how you can turn your audio cds into dvds because i know you can fit like 6 cds onto one disc.but can it still play in my car stereo?
I don't think a cd player in a car can read a DVD. I don't think that you can make a music DVD that will play on your DVD player connected to your television.
Some more informed good people that frequent these forums can tell you, better than I.
Not a chance.
CD uses a different type & focal length of laser, as well as a different sampling frequency.
The only way you could do this would be to get a car DVD player, and repurpose all your CD's into Either Dolby Digital - you'd get around 60 albums per disc, or resample them to 16/48 instead of 16/44.1 which is another can of worms altogether.
When you get a combo DVD-CD player, the first thing it looks for is a DVD fileset, then a CD one if it cannot find one.
You can play CD's in a DVD player, well most of them anyway - but never a DVD in a CD player.
Thanks for ya'lls help i figured it was a long shot but i thought i heard in the background on screensavers on g4tv that there was a way but i wasn't listening real well.
Badkarma, what you hear is not incorrect. Check out the link at http://www.audio-dvd-creator.com/ for a trial copy (15 days) which I use to convert about 6 music CD to DVD for my DVD changer in my car. Let me know if you need more information. Enjoy
richloh, go and re read the original post.
The man did not want to know how to play DVD in his car, he wanted to know how to play DVD on his CD player.
Richloh.
The original question was:
"i was wondering if and how you can turn your audio cds into dvds because i know you can fit like 6 cds onto one disc.but can it still play in my car stereo?"
There ias no mention of an in car DVD player here. The man said "car stereo".
As for the next quote, I certainly didn't say you cannot make a music DVD that will play on a DVD player connected to a TV, as I know full well that I can.
Please do not try & put words in my mouth that I never said.
Okay, now that's out of the way, we can look again at the question.
Yes, you can turn your Audio CD's into music DVD's. There are 2 types of DVD, DVDV and DVDA. DVDV uses either PCM at 16/48 (yes, it also can use 24 bit, but we are talking about converting Audio CD's, so I will stick with 16 bit as the example here), or Dolby Digital.
To turn an audio CD into one of these means either resampling from 16/44.1 to 16/48, or else using Dolby Digital encoding.
16/48 will allow 6 full albums or so at better than CD quality.
Dolby Digital will get around 50 or 60 albums on a single disc.
To achieve this you will need some form of DVD Authoring application.
Your cheapest way around this will be to go to
http://www.eximius.nl/dvdaudio.php and cough up ?49 for this, which will create a DVD-Video compatible Audio only disc. This will be very basic. It will NOT play in a standard car stereo, you will need a DVD player. You can play a CD on a DVD player, but not the other way around.
If you are wanting to do things a bit better, then you need an authoring application, such as Adobe's EncoreDVD or DVD Architect. I am not familiar with the latter one, but I know Encore well and it is a superb tool.
