I want to put an opera of 3 CDs onto one DVD, and be able to listen to it on my DVD player (non-computer). I don't want to convert the audio into a different format, because I want to keep the quality. How can I do this? Nero doesn't appear to have an "audio DVD", only an mp3 or WMA DVD.
There is no such thing as an "Audio-DVD." But there is a format called DVD-Audio, but it too uses a lossy audio format (AC3, A.K.A. Dolby Digital) too playback audio on a DVD-Video player. Concert DVDs use PCM to maintain the audio quality of the proformance. But those LPCM files are multiplexed (stored inside) MPEG-2 files. I don't know if your DVD player would read PCM files stored on a disc without video info or not. LPCM is the only uncompressed format DVD-Video players understand. So, I would just use Mp3 at high bitrates to maintain a high standard of quality. If you DVD player is capable of decoding AC3 files out side of the .VOB container (the video files) then I would use the AC3 codec instead of Mp3. But that requires some know-how. --LATER-- Yea, to use an LPCM file on a DVD player, it needs to be inside a VOB container. Ced
