Hey crash16
after reading your posts I believe you might need some clarification on DVD Audio.
www.idvd.ca/dvd-definitions-glossary.htm
Launched in mid-2000, this audio-only storage format similar to CD-Audio, however offers higher quality sound from 16, 20 and 24-bit samples at a variety of sampling rates from 44.1 to 192KHz, compared to 16 bits and 44.1KHz for CDs. DVD-Audio can also contain music videos and graphics.
So in a nutshell, DVD-Audio is of higher quality than CD audio and can hold music recorded upto 6 channels.
According to what you posted you are trying to put ripped music (most likely from a CD) onto a DVD and trying to pass it off as DVD-Audio. This unfortunately is a waste of a blank DVD and offers no quality increase of audio what so ever as you cannot increase the quality of a song that was originally recorded at a lower level. (ie since the extra detail of a cd song that is needed for it to become of DVD-Audio quality was never recorded, you cannot simply 'magically', out of thin air, add in this extra detail yourself).
Also, I noticed that you tried to burn mp3's onto a DVD disk. This unfortunately also will not convert the songs into DVD-Audio, and all that you would have accomplished with this is a DVD with mp3's on it. To my knowledge, there are few (if any) dvd players out there which support the playback of mp3's from dvds. When your dvd player states that you can play mp3's, it means that it can play mp3's burnt onto a normal CD.
So in conclusion, my advice to you is to first check out if your DVD player has the capability to play DVD-Audio (as in it says it can play DVD-Audio as this is a separate format which is only supported by more of the higher end dvd players). If it does, then you could go out and purchase specific DVD-Audio disks. Second, if you want to play music on your hometheater system, you can just burn a normal audio CD, or if your dvd player supports mp3 playback, you could burn an mp3 CD.
Side Note
- mp3's are of lesser quality than original CD-Audio as mp3's are compressed audio files.
- if you burn an mp3 as CD-Audio, you will not regain the original quality of CD-Audio, as again you cannot (same as CD-Audio to DVD-Audio) simply 'magically', out of thin air, add in extra detail yourself.
If you need any more help, feel free to PM me or post again as I will check back later.
