Making Music DVD

[ladyday]

I want to make a music DVD. I copied 82 abums in mp3 format to a DVD-R Disk. They will not play in my TV's DVD player. I get error message saying Disk Error. How do you burn music to a DVDR that will enable it to be played by a DVD Player.

Thanks,
Lady

As far as I know, that's presently not possible with .MP3s, but - You can readily accomplish this by placing perhaps 100 or more .MP3s on a CD, assuming your standalone DVD player has .MP3 playback capability...

Transcode all your mp3's to AC3, then author to dvd with a blank autostart menu, such as in ReJig. It will then play as a normal DVD, with no video.
You could also author it with a movie, or any pictures as a slideshow, or whatever.

You know, I am a newbie and this is far too complicated for me. If you know where I can find detailed instructions, I would be grateful.

Thanks

The simplest is to get DVDLab Pro, select Project, add audio title.
Convert all your audio files to 192kbps 48khz AC3 in ffmpeggui or Belight, and import into dvdlab.
Make a menu (not necessary) compile and burn.
You can fit about 45 hours of audio on a dvdr at 192kbps.

I have the newest version of nero express and it has a provision that you can burn mp3s to dvd.

But there is a catch to this.

I have to convert all of those full size wave files into the mp3 format at 160 - 320 kps by use of a converter program called easy cd ripper .

I can squeeze 30 albums encoded at 320 kps on a dvd-r.

I have found a program called Audio DVD. However, it takes about 4 hours to convert and burn a full DVD. The results are good, a menu, photo can be added, etc. Is there a program that you can use that does not take this long?

Nope. One way or another, you need to convert the mp3's into a dvd audio format, either AC3, mp2, or lpcm .wav.
AC3 is the smallest format, mp2 next, and lpcm is huge, not recommended.
Unless you have a player that can play mp3's, then just burn an mp3 data disk.
I use ffmpeggui batch, to transcode mp3 to AC3, then use DVDLab Pro to author the audio dvd.
