Topic: DVD-Audiofile for windows

Scott,
I'm on XP.  It looks just like your screen shot, only no groups dropdown menu and no create iso button.  I'm leaving for CES tonight.  I won't be back until Sunday or Monday.  I really appreciate your help.  I will check back with the thread when I return.

Peace,

Ya know, I'm using XP(bleh) and my screenshot looks like it should, however when I create the ISO it's recognized by XP as type "File" instead of image.  Do I just add the .iso extension after that    or am I doing something wrong?

is it not named .iso?

ifnot, just add .iso and you should be goood to go

Scott,

Just wanted to say what a great little program this is. I tried it out last Friday (Win2k) and it worked great. I usually create them in wavelab but figured I would try this out. It is about as easy as could be and everything worked great.

I think it will be my choice when I want to burn DVD-A and not deal with creating menus and images for each track etc.

thanks again

what is the point of creating groups?

i thought maybe i could create 2 disks at once, so made group1=disk 1 & group2=disk 2...but it looks like it made one huge 6+GB file,  Obviously you cant burn 6GB
So, how does the Group work?

[MattD]

Groups are necessary for combining different bit/sample rates on a single disc. Each group must have files of the same type in it.

thanks Matt!

also, I like to put set 1 in group 1, set 2 in group 2.  that sort of thing.  it's not really necessary, and I've burned many DVD-A discs from discwelder with the whole show in one group (discwelder bronze only allows you to burn one group).  but I like to split them up if I can.  My DVD player allows me to skip tracks, or to skip whole groups.  So if I want to go right to Set 2, instead of skipping ahead to track 13 or whatever, I can skip straight to Group 2.

so you burn 1 big iso file?  what if its more than 4.7gb?

[MattD]

Then you can't burn it to a single-layer DVD. I made this mistake the first time I tried Scott's program. He's had some inconsistencies with size reporting, but it's within a few % of being correct based on what Nero reports.

Scott, if you're still taking requests: finding the exact max size the image can be and putting a warning "are you sure you want to create an ISO larger than *blah* MB/GB?" would be a nice addition. It's annoying to find that the image is too big and then have to wait to recreate the entire thing.

so you burn 1 big iso file?  what if its more than 4.7gb?

right, you can't do it if it's more than 4.7gb.  most of the 24 bit shows I have are still at 24/48, and the whole show comes in under 4.7gb.  for every 24/96 show that I have, each set gets a seperate disc.

Hey Scott,
I've downloaded .4 / .41 / .42 versions and all downloads are missing the 'create iso' button.  Any thoughts on what might be happening?

Scott, re: Chris' problem ... could it be a java issue? Maybe he needs to download a new JVM?

i'd still love to see a screen shot.  if you hit "print screen" on your keyboard, it'll copy a screen shot to the clipboard.  then just paste it into "paint", save the image and post it here
