Topic: dvd-v players

[eric.B]

g'day all..
I am wondering if I could get some feedback here...  For those of you who have used "audio-DVD-creator" to author DVD_V disks (either by creating image to HD and then burning in Nero(or other) or burn DVD_V disks with the software itself), which players have you found support gapless playback?  I read the threads and saw some references to some units, but scant to say the least..  that and players that support DVD_V burned with discwelder bronze.   I am not talking about players that support dvd-a or sacd, Im talking about your basic dvd players and how they deal with ffwd/rew scanning, skipping tracks, menu's, gapless playback etc..

many t's to those who respond!   

thanks...

I use a pioneer elite dv-45A...no gaps on any playback on any formats.  I found the samsung HD841 (rebranded toshiba 4960) was flaky at best...

I was using Audio DVD Creator the other day and noticed that every source come out at 48K...is this to ensure compatibility with all dvd standards? Playback  = toshiba 4960 -> coax -> 2000es.

Concur - I tossed one of my DVD-A's in one at circuit city, and it had gaps.

I think it has to be 48 or 96 to use that program...

Though, Larry - were the files at 48 when you input them?   Does it resample them?  I think I'd want control over that step if it does...

check your dvd settings as well, if the settings are not right the DVD player will downsample a 96khz signal

and not every dvd-v player will pass 96k to the digi-out.  only matters if you plan on running an outboard DAC.

No, they were 44.1 16 bit (untracked wav. Anti-scene show from the night before). I didn't play around with the settings very much. Once I had produced a playable disc, those settings became the default.
