hey, by "adding a picture track" do you mean adding a picture by following these directions for adding a picture?

Yes.

I tried Scott's ISO image and I still get 1/4 second gaps between tracks.

I burned it using nero 6 at 2x, verified successfully.  Toshiba 4960 can't read it.

you made sure nero knew it was an image, and didn't just burn the iso as a file on the disc?

Yes. 

by golly, this works... its gapless on my 4960.  That means +Ts around.

i'm guessing that the toshiba player does somethign different with its buffers when there is a picture track.  but i doubt they'll admit the bug

my review of this thing: its a total pos... but it does sound good when it plays. It sounds way better than my laptop -> Maudio Transit does.

I wonder if there is any difference at all between the samsung hd841 and toshiba?? This thing(samsung) plays like a dream, gapless, sound quality is decent...no issues at all>... i bought it for my wife to use in her listening room(i have the denon 2900) and it has been great.

my wildly uneducated, speculative guess: same thing w/ bad QC.

I had the samsung HD841 and after seeing websites dedicated to the mods, the only difference is the shell, same circuit board and layout insdie.  I had nothing but gap problems with mine.  Great DVD player and works well in the bedroom now...glad I upgraded as well, because for the SACDs and DVD-As, I do think the DACs in the pioneer sound better (they should, better quality) than the DACs in the samsung

Why do you guys keep suspecting the buffering on the Samsung and Toshiba players?  I agree that buffer handling is a possible culprit, but what facts make you suspect buffering in the HD841 or 4960?

Here's the facts as I understand them:

1) ISO images prepared with DVD-Audiofile do not play on a Samsung HD841 or a Toshiba 4960 without gaps.
2) ISO images prepared with Wavelab 5.0a play properly on a Samsung HD841 or Toshiba 4960 if you add pictures.
3) ISO images prepared with DVD-Audio Solo 1.1 play properly on a Samsung HD841 or Toshiba 4960, without gaps.
4) No one on recent threads has said whether ISO images prepared with discWelder play properly on a Samsung HD841 or Toshiba 4960, without gaps.
5) Other players such as the Denon 220 and Pioneer Elite DV-45a play DVD-Audio discs, regardless of which of the above programs were used

These facts could imply that there's something wrong with the Samsung HD841 and Toshiba 4690 players.  They could also imply that there's something wrong with DVD-Audiofile (or its underlying program, DVD-Audio Tools), but that most players are tolerant of the error.
