Title: Help Burning a Data DVD
Post by: timbuk2 on December 16, 2008, 10:13:07 pm

I must be missing something, I selected all the songs in a current playing now window, dragged them down to a new playlist window in the bottom left of screen, clicked next, then burn.  Got one song and a playlist.m3u file. I'm trying to simply copy some of the MP3s to a DVD to play in DVD players.  Did I miss a simple step that I didn't see?

Thanks
Tim
MJB 12.0.49

I finally got it to burn the entire DVD, but it wont play on any DVD player except my PC.  I used a DVD-R, so it should have closed out the session from what I could tell.
Had no problem burning regular CD's.

When searching this forum and the help files to resolve my problem, I find hundreds of issues similar, but not the same.  I really like MJ, but I guess it's not too much trouble to open another program to burn a data DVD of MP3's.  Only problem is having to organize them in Windows Explorer instead of simply using a play list from within the program.
Unfortunate.
Thanks anyway

MC/J's burning could definitley do with some polishing.
Erase DVD very rarely works I've found.

Can your DVD players play MP3 files from a DVD-R or DVD+R disc? Mine don't. They can play MP3 files, but only from CD-R and CD-RW discs. This used to be a known problem with most stand-alone multi-format DVD players, but maybe the newest players are better.

Mine will, plays from SD Cards too.  Unfortunatley not SDHC, which would have been the cherry on top!

I've played MP3's from a DVD in my car and my portables as long as it is burnt with other programs other than MJB. I was just hoping that such a great Juke Box Program would allow me to do it all from here, but I'm tired of wasting DVD-Rs.

Is the option to Decode directly to disc supposed to be checked?  I didn't think it would since all I want to do is burn Mp3;s to disc as Mp3s.  I can do this in any other program, but I must spend hours searching through my windows explorer to find all the songs on my playlist.  Does anyone not know why I cannot burn a DVD with this program and can with others?
Thanks
