So it does work... that's awesome, I gotta try it sometime soon!

Yeah, I did mean random not shuffle. How would random play work if there's no button

How long did it take you to do this, and how many songs were you able to fit on your DVD?

Just as important, is the sound quality any different from a regular CD?

 

Sorry for the late reply.

I can't seem to find a better software than what HotShotEng have shown. But it's sound quality is good though.

The Random button pop on the screen.

The software had to extract it to wav and than back to DVD-A so it take awhile and use quite a bit of system resource but it work.

I'm still composing the DVD-A so don't know how many songs I can fit yet.

 

So how long does this whole process take? And is it worth it in the end? Any unforseen issues? Tell me it's worth it in the end... im hoping!

 

Do not use the DVD-Audio support on the Mark Levinson. It is a terrible scam.

DVD-Audio supports an extremely high bandwidth surround sound format, but in Mark Levinson's implementation, they convert it to a low bandwidth 2-channel analog format.

Your CD's and your DVD/DTS music runs through the S/PDIF, but DVD-Audio playback gets no digital processing.

So, for playback, DVD/DTS > CD > DVD-Audio

 

so the DVD-A played will be analog only?

Hmm.. maybe I just make a DVD video with the lyrics.

 

This is sad, I try to get the audio book into one DVD... not enough space. Just 1 book and it's not even. Anyway I can compress the file a bit to make things fit?

Thanks.

 

After using the "Adobeman 's DVD GUI" for awhile, I think I know enough to answer this question.

- If you are lucky, the software will convert all mp3s into WAV for it to continue. If not, it will pause at each file that it can't convert and generate a log text file in the temp folder. I use the log to find out which file and have another program convert it into wav and save it into this temp file (same file name). When Adobeman open this project next time, it will see it already have a wav file and ask to use that instead of the mp3 it have on the list.

- The whole process take awhile, so I usually just go do something else. I think around 30mins for it to process and create an ISO. I come back and burn it onto DVD, and that takes another 7mins or so.

- Issues:
-- the sound is great but it's only Stereo sound. I'm still looking for a software that can create DVD-A 5.1 to put our ML into full use.
-- the audio equalizer doesn't seem to work well. Some playback sounds louder than others. I'm not 100% sure if the original mp3 file was like that. But I was hoping the equalizer would fix.

- Pro: It show as DVD-audio, so all audio function works.

 

DVD-A Metallica - NICE! =)

 

How do you know if you got dvd(video) capability. How do you find out if my 07' radio is a "ML"?

 

look at the radio unit and see if there is working "mark levinson"
