Burning an audio DVD?

The 06 Acura TL plays DVD audio, but I don't know how to make a DVD audio disc. Looking at Nero (6.3.0.0), I only have 3 choices under audio for DVD's: MP3, WMA, and "Nero Digital Audio Disc".

The deck on the TL does not decode MP3's, WMA or AAC (unless AAC is the standard DVD audio format).

Is there something I'm missing? Can Nero burn a DVD audio disc that's just stores 5 times more music than a CD?

I suppose I could just convert some music to .wav and throw it on like a data disc, but that seems like it should be automated...
 
Well, a "regular audio disc" is .wav files. 🙂 I can't believe a nice car like a TL doesn't play mp3s! That's pretty much standard fare these days.

You should be able to select DVD from the little drop down menu at the top of Start Smart that says "CD/DVD/CD-DVD"

Then, Burn Audio Disc from the lower menus. It should let you then make a compilation of normal audio tracks.
 
No, Nero can't do DVD Audio as far as I know. The benefit of DVD Audio isn't really recording length, its sound quality. They use a much higher bitrate than CDs. The format has never really caught on though, so you don't see a lot of them, but you can go to Best Buy or a music store and they should have a separate DVD Audio section.

I believe there are programs that can burn MP3 -> DVD Audio, but I haven't played aroudn with them.
 
Let's not confuse "audio tracks on a DVD" with "DVD-A". They are two completely different things. DVD-A and SACD are surround sound formats for music on DVD.

Nero CAN burn MP3s to DVDs; I've done it many times.

I don't want MP3's, I want a a DVD that has 5 times as much music as a regular CD.

I have no idea why Nero doesn't have an option to put automatically convert MP3's to WAV for DVD's like it does for CD's.

Now I have to manually do it.

I'm not sure why you're under the impression that an Audio CD is just WAV files burned on a CD. That's not the case.
 
theres no point, you can increase quality of mp3s/cds to utilize the higher bitrate/sampling of dvd audio anyways. and dvd audio doesn't have an mp3 mode or whatever, better off just making a mp3 cd disc or plain cd audio disc. yes it would be nice if more players could read wav or mp3 files off a dvd because 4gb isn't half bad for that. but the car audio industry is pretty lame on keeping up with tech so they drag their feet on all this stuff. so many cheap portable cd players can do mp3 i dunno why most cd decks cant do it, the tech is cheap now. i had a philips portable dvd player that could read mp3s off a dvd disc too, so its not exactly hard to impliment, its just they don't care😛
 
It's really not hard at all. I use ECM 9, used to use 8, and simply burns the CD albums into folders and put them on a DVD. No menus - just music. They play just fine in WMP, but the main purpose is archiving. I have 41 CDs archived on one DVD. No encoding - no menus - just data files that play.

DVD

As you can see - I dig jazz! 🙂 However - the above won't play in a car player. For car use, I burn CDRs with folders of MP3 files - about 7-8 albums per CDR. Good for a day trip of 8 hours or so.
