4.7GB DVD in a 6disc DVD changer. Has anyone tried this yet? I'm asking because if this is the case, I wouldn't need my iPod in the car.

Only with the ML system...I think.

i am pretty sure you can do that as long as you have the ML setup

I tried burning an mp3 DVD in hopes that I could do what you were thinking but, no luck for me. It said it couldn't read the dis. I have ML without nav. Maybe I formatted the DVD improperly. Perhaps the ML w/ nav will. I have more music than that anyway on my iPod.
Has anyone else done this with the same setup I have?

If it can read dual layer data DVDs you could run 48-50 GB of music... now that would be something.

it doesn't play mp3.... you need to make them into dvd-a audio dvd.

Do you mean it doesn't play mp3 when it's on DVD, but does when it's on CD?

at least that's what i thought. i thought if it's a dvd then it has to be in dvd-a format. correct me if i am wrong though

On the 3GS ML, it must be in DVD-A format. I'm assuming it's the same for the IS ML.

well but the 3gs doesn't play mp3 at all to begin with, right?

i believe the 2is plays mp3, at least on cd?

hehe it doesn't help memory when i don't have the damn car

SGT

Yep, you're correct, but I can convert my MP3's into AC3 format and then burn them onto an audio DVD and play them on the ML.

Unlike the GS, the new IS does play MP3 and WMA burned on a DVD-ROM disc, BUT only if the IS is equipped with BOTH Nav and ML. Only this configuration will get you a DVD changer instead of just a CD changer. End of story.

And yeah, burning them on dual-layer discs is even more awesome.

WOW! OHHHHHH! the ML system can read MP3 DVD???

Can the ML play MP3 on DVD while the car is moving?

XeroK00L

I don't see why not. The only things that are disabled while the car is moving are the video part of a DVD movie and the ability to access certain navigation functions.
