Backed up Mp3's to DVD-RW - something ain't right - HELP`

I had 4.3gb of mp3's on my hard drive that I wanted to remove so I could make room to burn DVD's. Well I burned the mp3's onto the DVD-RW, then checked a few files on the disk and they played fine. I removed the files from my hard drive thinking everything was hunkydory......well, I put the disk in this week and it only shows one file: Track01.cda I don't know what I did wrong or how to retrieve those files from the DVD. Does anyone have any insight on this 4.3 gb dilemma. If you do, I sincerely thank you in advance.

 

I used Nero 6 under data backup on DVD.

 

The files should be [.cda]

You prolly need to rip em

Open Nero
Go DVD
Under Audio
Rip Tracks
Press Select All
Use The LAME MP3 Format And Rip Em...

That Shoulde Be It

 

Thanks for your insight Madskillz, I hope you got game. I will give that a try.

 

.cda is not the right format at all, we're talking about mp3's here. I just finished putting some of my mp3s on 10 dvds yesterday.

I used recordnow dx, it does a much better job all round if you ask me than nero, i've tried a few times unsuccessfully to use nero, but i'm beginning to think i have something personal against it. Anyway, it's just a data disc, add the mp3's and off you go. Oh, re-writable media, i've had nothing but trouble with nearly all my re-writables, all formats. After about one or two uses i can't use the disc anymore. Prolly just the brand, will see when next i have money ; )

 

i would like to know how you burned the mp3's to dvd and did the read after you burned, i have 2 rom's would they read in the other drive after you was done?
i would like to back up my mp3's on dvd also

 

depending on the sizes of your mp3's you should fit about 1000 mp3's quite comfortably on a 4.7 gig disc.
I have been using nero and just transferred them on as raw data.

 

I initially burned the DVD with Nero Express as a data disc, that's when the DVD showed only one file Track01.cda....Zoiks!!!!! I was able to get into the mp3 files on the DVD through Nero and reburned it as an mp3 disc....Why I didn't do that in the first place is beyond me. I will be making another backup onto a regular DVD-R soon.

 

hey herbsman thanx for the link ,will try the demo when i get some time


andmerr

 

One of my mates who just got a pc burnt a music cd for me (audio) and when i throw it in my pc it shows the same thing, one .cda file yet will play properly, he used nero to burn it. Go figure.
Cheers for the link.
