Tips With Any DVD Recorder

[dazuk1972]

I came across something strange and I figured out what was causing it. If any of you compress music to disc where there's some folders seperating albums and some albums are on mp3 and others are on WMA and you find out some album folders are invisible, it's because some DVD players and DVD recorders can only play mp3 and not WMA.

If any of you have photos on a disc and the same happens, it's because some DVD recorders can't read photos that have been adjusted in anyway such as Cropped. When you save an unadjusted photo in JPEG for example, JPEG is written in block capitals and if a photo is adjusted and saved in JPEG it will say JPEG in lowercase.

Keep in mind, some DVD players and DVD recorders can't play compressed music on DVD discs, neither. If any of you have that problem, you'll have to burn the music to CD.

I hope this helps anyone.

Good to know, I think the key word here is some.

Some of you, of course, own a DVD recorder.

By the way, if you edit music to MP3 or WMA, MP3 and WMA will be listed in lowercase like the photo file types. Unedited music will say MP3 and WMA in block capitals.

That's what I meant, it's some. I have two DVD recorders and two DVD players and only one of my DVD recorders plays WMA and it also read adjusted photos. None of them can play MP3 and WMA music on DVD discs, only CD discs. I know a machine that can play MP3 and WMA music on DVD discs.

I not quite sure what you was trying to say.

Just agreeing with you.

By the way, just rename it.

Check "show extensions for known filetypes" under Folder Options, and just change mp3 to MP3 etc.

Hope that helps

I apologise. I wondered why you kept quoting the word some. I hope you didn't think I was being rude. I was only asking you what you meant in a friendly way because I was a bit baffled.

Many thanks for the help. I just found something out that made me edit my first message in this thread. When you compress to mp3 and whether or not you edit a track in anyway, mp3 remains in lowercase at all times. I forgot about that and just played one of my discs and it reminded me. It's only WMA that changes to lowercase when edited.

Many thanks, again.

No need to apologise, no offense taken.
