Can't burn a playlist to CD/DVD converted to WMA ?
« on: January 19, 2012, 12:06:21 pm »
I am trying to burn a playlist to a DVD for use in my car.  The best quality/longest playtime that the player can handle is 320 kbps WMA files burned onto a data DVD. My library is in FLAC so the burner needs to transcode it on the fly.  I have done this before with WMP and I thought I had done it with MC but I can't find a way to do this now. The only option I find is to convert to MP3.

How do you add "WMA 320kbps" to the target format list in the CD Burn Transcode Options?

It's under Tools/Options/Encoding.

You'll have to use 320 MP3 with Media Center.

This is higher quality than WMA, so hopefully not a problem.

It has been my understanding that at the same bitrate, a WMA file provides better quality... but I am not trying to start one of those religious arguments. 

If I have the WMA encoders on the PC way can't I select WMA output?  It seems to be an unnecessary limitation.
