DVD MP3
 

Should I be able to burn MP3 to DVD and play them in the TV DVD player? They
will play on the PC DVD player.

I can burn video DVD's and play them (Panasonic) and CD MP3's and play them.

Playing MP3s from a DVD is highly unlikely in most DVDPs, but I don't say it
can't be done. I have a Cyberhome that I think *might* do it - I will check
it shortly and report back here.

(Although I have to query the true *usefulness* of summat like 200 hours of
continuous music playback on a single disk....??)

OK. The Cyberhome certainly *does* play MP3s from a DVD. Navigation is a
PITA - it doesn't seem to be able to play through directories and comes to a
full stop at the end of a directory (album). Also my estimate of 200 hours
was a bit wild - probably more like 30-40 continuous from a single disk at
128 and up.

So, *doable* if nothing else....???

Will it play MP3s in random order? My player will only do that with
WAVs, and I have no idea why.

Yep - see:

But only in the one directory - I expect it would be OK if all the files
were in the root also.

The two main nigs with the navigation (from what I can see) is that you
can't 'prenavigate' - you have to stop the track that's playing to go back
out of the directory you are in and the lists won't scroll with just holding
the button down - you have to keep pressing the damn thing!

Certainly useful for more than a whole day's playing without
attendance/attention - like in a restaurant or summat??

Why are interfaces to these kinds of system always such utter ****e?

Hi,

****e interfaces are cheap!
Good interfaces require thought and testing. Both require time, and
testing requires people who can say 'why is it like this?'. Accountants
and managers don't like people who say 'why is it like this?'.

Just the 2p of a cynic who's been told to shut up a few times. "Time to
market" is a buzz-phrase that I personally despise (along with quite
a few others).

Regards,

Glenn.
