![]() For example, it might make sense to convert a 96 kbps WAV file to MP3, but only if you choose a bitrate of 192 kbps or higher. The only time it might make sense is if you have a lower bitrate audio file in a high quality format like WAV. ![]() Pretty much every site will tell you that you should never convert a lossless format audio file to MP3 format unless you are OK with losing some audio quality. Any DVD authoring software on any platform should be capable to create chapters.The MP3 format is a lossy format, which means audio quality is sacrificed in order to keep the relatively small size of the files. Chapters are a feature of the DVD format, they behave very much like titles on a CD, but they will probably not appear in the DVD menu (depending on the software used). What you could do is create one long audio track of an entire disk, burn that as a single title, and insert what are called "chapters" within that title. This is where the DVD is different from an audio CD which is just one long track like a record, and the titles are just index marks on that one track. The thing with the DVD-V format is that it has to have a menu containing the titles - even if it's a very primitive one -, and if you want to align several titles to play automatically after each other, the player will want to insert a pause between each. Maybe that is what you've been doing all along. ![]() But it means you have to author a regular video disk where the video just happens to be a black screen, and the audio is your music. The previous is compatible with all DVD and Bluray players. In any case if you want to just create files, an USB drive, SSD drive or SD card is the way to go. The latter depends on the capabilities of your player and would be complicated to figure out. a computer readable file system containing audio files in a format of your choosing a video format with the screen remaining black, or or else it's pointless.Ĭlick to expand.I understand you want to burn to a DVD, but not DVD-A, is that correct? That leaves two formats: I would like to, for instance, rip King Crimson's "Red" DVD-A to individual tracks, and re-author it into some sort of disc format which my player will handle natively, and stream the data through the optical output into my Parasound DA at 24/96, without gaps. This is obviously not acceptable for music that requires continuous listening from track-to-track with no silences. Even if you aren't compiling a "playlist", you get a 1-second gap. What I have found is that Toast Titanium, for instance, will insert a default second between any track. just my luck, the one I picked won't play DVD-A.Īnd this only complicates a problem I was already having: is there a way to simply stack up any source tracks – I am not speaking of a disc image or a particular playlist here – just as one would in a CD authoring program, and enjoy truly gapless playback? I am finding this totally impossible, at least on the Mac, and before I make a bunch of coasters trying different PC freeware, I thought I would ask the experts if this is even possible. Well, here's a puzzler that I have been searching this, and numerous other forums for, and have gotten nowhere, and am hoping some of you could offer suggestions.įrom this forum, I've figured out how to burn some SACD iso images I've had sitting around to blank DVDs and get them to play in a non-hacked player (thanks to a $12 pickup from eBay of a simple old Sony Blu-ray I picked from this handy list: sacd-ripper/sacd-ripper ).
