tonedeft Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Hello, can anyone help me with the following? I downloaded a lot of CDs into the PC as WMA files. Then I recorded them onto DVD+R and DVD+RW as I have a player that is supposed to be able to read WMA and is supposedly compatible with DVD RW. However the DVD I burnt cannot be played on the player. What can be the problem? Did I miss something out? Thanx
karlie Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Long Files Names? Does not support sub-Directories? Too may files per directory? Takes a loooooooong time to actual read the files (just wait longer) Wrong WMA version? BUT most important: Why, oh Why did you encode them in WMA?

karlie Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 why/ dunno.... PC recommended it? thot it had better sq? something like that Yeah I thought as much.... Luckily Microsoft did not tell you to go and kill you parents... Well I will let that go for the moment... Your DVD player probably only suppots WMA8 (also known as WMA); check that you have encoded your music as WMA8 (also known for its crappy inconsistant quality)
SiriuslyCold Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I'm not psychic, but I sense a slight aversion to MS here.. ;D
tonedeft Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 luckily didn't ask me to kiss u either ;D putting that aside too, if not WMA, what's the alternative, and is it possible to convert from WMA to whatever?
karlie Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Re: Microsoft: you have to know one bullnutster when it comes to you, otherwise your grandmother is going to give all her money and jewelry to people who come to remove the curse on your daughter. Microsoft said: "WMA8 96kbps CD Quality" WMA8 128kbps Audiophile Quality", rest my case. What you can do is check the specs of your player. To check the format in your WMA files, you can try Microsoft's ASFviewer Have you heard of mp3? You could transcode your files to mp3, but you might loose a bit of quality. You should re-encode your music to mp3
tonedeft Posted September 22, 2007 Author Posted September 22, 2007 Thanx karlie, much appreciate your help, ;)
