Burning Audio DVD
Does anyone know the options I need to burn an audio MP3 DVD so that it will play in an SL550? I burned an MP3 CD and it worked ok (although it didn't decode the ID3 tags). I thought I could just burn a DVD in the same manner and it would work, but it states "unknown format". There are many options to burning a DVD and I am wondering if there's some combination that I need to get correct for it to work properly. I can read the music off the DVD on a computer system, so it at least burnt the DVD properly for the formats I selected.

I did figure out how to make this work and thought I'd pass on the info. It's simply a matter of burning the DVD in UDF format instead of ISO9660. Once I did that, all 4.4GB of music formatted in multiple levels of folders works like a champ.

I use K3B, which is part of most all standard Linux distros. All you have to do is select "generate UDF extensions" on the Burn Data DVD options tab. I took a quick look at K3B, but it doesn't specifically state which version of UDF its using (I suppose you could dig around the K3B project in sourceforge.net to find out the details). When I get a little time, I'll see if I can find the details about UDF version, but I suspect its more an issue of the software burning the extenions properly vs. the actual version of the extensions.

If it's inconsistent, that's most likely the quality of the media you're using or the speed you're writing at. Try writing slower with better media. I believe after discussion from Steve from MbenzNL that my headunit needs a software update, because right now I cannot play mp3s for the life of me through the command, only the cd changer which doesn't exactly work right.

The first method I'd try on a Mac would be is iTunes (set preferences/Advanced/Burning/Disk Format to "Data CD or DVD"). That should burn a DVD in the proper format. Another option would be Toast - its rated quite highly, although I haven't used it myself. On Windows, I don't have a clue (gave up on the that a couple of years ago as I wanted a system that actually worked).
