Topic: Windows7 64bit DVD-Audiofile (other options?)

[todd e]

So I just got a new desktop, with Win7 64bit.  Trying to get a way to make quick dvd-a's from 24bit files, and i have used DVD-Audiofile in the past with success, in the WinXP environment.  Does anyone know of other options for drag&drop from the 24bit flacs to a ISO. 

I'd rather not get into multi-threading for the Win7, just for one program - but will if it's neccesary.  I've tried installing the zip from 24bit turtleside faq and NORTON detects it as suspicious and deletes the exe before i can get a chance to run it.  I just dont know what others are doing for 24bit DVD-A on the quick.  I'm 95% sure Disc Welder would work but would rather not pay if there is another option.

Thanks to any responses in advance.

so dvd-audiofile doesn't work on your box? 

if that doesn't work, fab has made his own GUI.

correct, it wont run on my 64bit box.  at least norton thinks it's a bad .exe and deletes it immediately

disable norton, then install.  then re enable norton.

because you know something about the program above and beyond norton?  i'm weary of disabling the virus software which i installed......
i dont doubt your suggestion will work, but i'd love to hear from any others with similar suggestions as to why i should turn off my protection

can you just tell norton to ignore that file?

check the link i posted.  that's another GUI for the same tools (actually uses a much more recent version of the tools)

Truth be told the Norton products wreak all kind of havoc with legitimate files.   A product line that has become bloated while others are doing the simple tasks (i.e. virus protection) much better and with no bloat.

In ths case you're only letting a trusted set of files pass through Norton.  It's not like you're opening the flood gates to virus hell with the front end/program.

Better yet consider moving to one of the higher rated and free anti virus products and replace Norton and you won't have these issues anymore.

Burning disc's is sooo '00's, just get a squeeze box - ha 

[todd e]

have a squeezebox, been one of the first users to go there in 2003 v1 - old school!
just doesnt support but 16/48



EDIT: so it turns out norton was to blame.  i pulled it off, updated java and fired it up - perfecto.  still gonna explore the vmware/virtual desktop idea for kicks.
Thanks everyone!

glad that you got it working.
also, I don't know what version of Windows 7 you have, but if you have Professional or Ultimate, there's a built-in "XP mode".  Essentially windows built virtualization right into Windows 7 so that people can run XP.  I don't have much experience with this (because I've got Home Premium on my computer), but it's probably the best way to run XP on a Windows 7 machine.

[todd e]

agreed, but i've also heard that the vmware software player/viewer is a free way to do it if you dont have pro (i have home win7 ;-(

i have the software on the desktop, just gotta dig up my win xp disc to install it virtually.  the only reason i dont do the other option (the one you mention) is that to upgrade to pro win7 is $199...  steep considering my box only cost 380

I've been trying to use dvd-audiofile and can't seem to get it to work. I am using win 7 pro. I haven't ran program under "xp mode" but didn't think i needed too either.
When I go to burn dvda, it doesn't show .iso as one of the file formats to save as, just *.* i use create iso and it appears as .file, not an iso file. I even named iso with .iso at end of name.
thanks

so the app actually launches and sort of works for you?
