Topic: Audio DVD Creator gapless?????

[ts]

Where in this program can you select gapless? I'm about ready to give up and go for discwelder. On one PC with ADC I never had a gapless problem. Now on another PC all of a sudden I do

I recall a thread where it was indicated that the issue is with your burner or the playback system the DVD is played in... Although I haven't used Audio DVD Creator in a while, I never had problems with gaps in any of the 24bit shows I burned and I don't recall needing to do anything special.  You might try a search and see if the thread I'm thinking of is here.

As I recall, on close inspection of Audio DVD Creator's output (over a year ago, to be fair, in the process of writing my own app Lplex, which is truly gapless & lossless) it appeared that Audio DVD Creator actually snips off the tail-end of each input file so as to align the audio data to the preceding audio frame on the dvd, then starts the next track at the beginning of the following video frame, so that not only was there usually a tiny data loss but also a playback gap if the relevant audio and video frames didn't happen to coincide perfectly.  The gap duration is at most just under one video frame (NTSC = 0.033 and PAL = 0.04 seconds), so it's likely not always apparent to the listener.  If the gaps seem longer, then it may have to do with your player and not Audio DVD Creator.

EDIT: The above applies to dvd-v compliant audio. If you're using CD-Audio as input the gaps may be an upsampling artifact.

Thanks. I never got it resolved. Switched to Discwelder Bronze and could'nt be happier. It almost sounds better to, although I realize that can't be possible

AVAL57:  that link to your program is not working

I too am having trouble with the audiofile program creating gapless ISOs for burning. 

Any other options??

awesome

LpLex worked like charm!
no problems with the playback

I do like the features & functions more on the audiophile program, but i have to go for the gapless for now

thank you both
