I kinda thought it might be a DRM thing...and I'd try what you suggest, except I made 5 coasters last night trying to make a f$%kin DVD-A in Wavelab that my player would actually play. Apparently my player likes DVD+R and DVD-R media as long as you are creating a DVD video disc. Making a DVD-A in Wavelab on +R media results in a disc that causes my player to just cycle the laser back and forth until I eject the disc (tried it on a friends' player...same story). Burning a DVD-A in Wavelab on -R media causes the onscreen menu to recognize DVD Audio, but it never boots the menu and never plays (didn't get to try this on another player). I can load the -R disc on my computer and goto the Tools>Import DVD-Audio tracks function in Wavelab, and it detects the disc as a DVD-A, sees the menu, can skip among tracks, etc....points back to my player. I just find it interesting that I've never burned a single DVD video on ANY media that it won't play, and I can't seem to burn a single DVD-A that it will. After a significant amount of frustration and a bottle of red wine, I downloaded Audio DVD Creator and plan to use it until I feel the need to record at 192, or until I can isolate the problem to my player and not my authoring process.
