Question

Cannot play DVD Mp3 compilation on my new DVD player

Asked by: spacialek

Hi, I bought a new dvd recorder/player and I'm trying to listen to MP3 compilation on it, but it's always giving me this error message : "Playback feature may not be available on this disc"

I burnt movies on the same disc's brand and played it on this dvd player this week, so I guess this is not a dvd type concern ...

I burnt my mp3 compilation with Nero 8 (data burning)

I tried with two kind of discs, one with no label (this one worked with movies on it), the other one is Phillips RW DVD+R 4.7Gb 1-16x.

Thank you !

it sounds like nero did more than just copy the mp3 files onto the DVD.
on the dvd is it just a list of mp3 files are is there amenu system?

 

by: spacialekPosted on 2008-09-14 at 16:59:27ID: 22475052

Hi chilternPC,

there is just mp3 files organized into different folders, I don't see any menu system...

 

by: chilternPCPosted on 2008-09-14 at 23:48:07ID: 22476273

Hi SpecialK ,  
can you browse the DVD and see the mp3 files on your PC?

I assume these are straight plain  MP3 files and do not have any DRM (digitial right management) ?
i.e. if you bought the music off a website it may be protected.

 

by: spacialekPosted on 2008-09-16 at 06:58:17ID: 22488421

Yes I can see the MP3 files on my PC.  Does that mean that if I can see the files on my PC, there's no DRM ?

 

by: chilternPCPosted on 2008-09-16 at 09:57:33ID: 22490571

no -
can you play them on your PC ?

try them on another PC apart from yours.

 

by: spacialekPosted on 2008-09-16 at 10:58:55ID: 22491222

it plays well on my two PC and my Mac

 

by: chilternPCPosted on 2008-09-16 at 11:02:44ID: 22491262

have you tried a simple CD of MP3 files, maybe without folders as well

 

by: spacialekPosted on 2008-09-16 at 11:49:35ID: 22491877

I tried that too, but my dvd player won't play it either

 

by: spacialekPosted on 2008-09-16 at 17:08:12ID: 22494435

Today I went at the store where I bought the DVD Recorder, and they told me that the DVD recorders/players cans only read MP3 burnt on CD, not on DVD, so I tried with a CD, and it works well now, but I was sure that it was possible to use DVD... I'm a little bit disappointed because DVD's offers way much space to store my MP3 than CD's.  Do you know if this theory is right ?  Another sales person also told me that rewritable discs are not good to play MP3...  It's so confusing !!

Thanks
