Good luck !!! I've been playing with this all weekend. I can convert any picture format to anything but you try getting MP3 onto a DVD to play on a dvd player !!

I have taken a number of tracks within folders and used NERO 6 to burn these onto a CDR (stating they are MP3 not an Audio CD !!) . This works fine on my Panasonic I can insert the CDR and it will play with no problems. You can search for tracks (by name !!!) display titles etc etc. I have tried this in other software packages and you get exactly the same

However I can burn the entire project again using the same burner but burning to a DVD and pop it in the Panasonic (stand alone) drive and it will not play at all just errors. I have noticed in ISO buster there is a difference between the disks in that you cannot rip the mpeg files from the DVD in the same way you can from a CDR. I believe this is because of what it reads from the boot sector. From reading on a few forums it is because MP3 is not a DVD format as such so you would need to convert the MP3 into another format before burning it (WAV or MP2) are suggested. Yet its not suggested what tools to use after that and what affect they have.

However I did find that you can use DVD SANTA (download the freeware version as you don't need the video !!) to pick MP3 files, then use it to author a DVD. This DVD does play in my Panasonic !! However this software basically re-converts the MP3's and typically the files grow x8 !!! The disc created is like a real DVD so will only allow 2 hours of actual music. So you may as well have burnt the MP3's to CD as you keep the small file size and therefore loads of hours of music. However one thing that you can do if you have an album on 2 (non mp3) cd's you can fit them onto one DVD !. I believe ROXIO can also do a similar thing. DVD Santa looks really good for film conversion I'm going to give it a try (usually use TMPGENC or DVD2SVCD)

There must be a way to fudge a MP3 DVD to thinking its a CDR. Similar to how you patch and SVCD to think its a compliant DVD format !!! However, I cant find any patches anywhere !!!!

It's very simple: Most DVD players read MP3 files from a CD-R fine. Burn them on a DVD-R, and the success rate drops dramatically. I suspect most DVD players assume that the only thing to expect on a DVD is video, so when it finds lots of data files instead of a DVD Video structure, they error out.
But there are more intelligent DVD players that can ply mp3 from a data DVD.
