Topic: DVD-A test

[udovdh]

Hello,

I think the NAD T-524 does not flawlessly play back DVD-A tracks. There are slight pauses/skips in between tracks. Annyoing when it is live material.
To confirm the issue: does anyone know a (legal) DVD-A download (ISO preferred to avoid software issues) which is not too large that I could use to verify my findings?
Stereo CD-quality is OK, better is no problem.
If you know a place to get a DVD-A ISO, please post!

Thanks!

I could create one for you, and send it your way.  I'll do just a few tracks, so the ISO file isn't too large for this test.  I'll put it up real soon and post again once it's up

Would be cool! Just a few 'Live' tracks would do. Continuous audio with tracks.

This started as a 20 minute song from a show I taped last Thursday.  I used CD Wave to put in more track marks, and I think I only gave you ~10 minutes or so.  So, it's all part of one song, but has 3 or 4 tracks. it's at 16/44.1, and it should all be seamless.  I used Scott Brown's DVD-Audiofile to create the ISO file, which I have used countless times to create my own DVD-Audio discs, all of which play seamlessly on my Denon 2200 player.

hopefully this will help you out.

Thanks!
Will give this a try on my T524 to confirm whether or not this devie has an issue.

udo, my program uses david's dvda-author, so jason's disc is no different from your own tests from his app

i could send you a dvd-a  authored w/ wavelab5.

Ow... That may be an issue since I want to see if the software is the cause or the DVD player.
I think dvda-author is OK (even fixed a small thingie recently) but I have to have a different sourced ISO to be sure.

That would be great! Just a small ISO of live audio with a few tracks so I can test.

i dont burn .iso's. i burn an empty video_ts and an audio_ts folder w/ the .vob files. does that make sense?

with what app?  it's gotta be sorted correctly or it won't play on every player...

wavelab5 burns it as an AUDIO_TS file and an empty VIDEO_TS file. i could use nero to burn it as in .iso if one insists.

Yes and no. I recall that (for some players?) the location on the disc of some files is important (see the -pp parameter for dvda-author). Depending on how your burn software handles this it is OK.

wavelab5 burns it as an AUDIO_TS file and an empty VIDEO_TS file. i could use nero to burn it as in .iso if one insists.

If you could make a small ISO available that is not made using dvda-author/mkisofs I could use that ISO to test if my T524 has an issue or not.
Please do!
