Convert MP3 Format Sound Files to Play in a DVD Player
With the onslaught of digital media and the massive amount of songs downloaded from the Internet, one of the most popular formats for music is the MP3 file type. The MP3 is able to be played on MP3 players, converted to be played on iPods, and can be played by current DVD players with MP3 capabilities. However, if you want to play your MP3s on a DVD player that is older, or doesn't have an MP3 reader, you will need to convert your files into a type readable by the device.
Instructions
1. Download Audio DVD Creator at audio-DVD-creator.com and install it on your computer, following the simple onscreen instructions and agreeing to the terms and conditions. Audio DVD Creator is one program of many that will do the MP3-to-DVD conversion, but it is also one of the easiest to navigate. You can find the link to download it in the resources section below. Once downloaded, open the program. The first thing that will pop up is the Welcome Page.
2. Click the New Project button on the welcome page, which will cause the new project window to pop up, giving you two options: create an audio DVD, or create an audio CD.
3. Click on "Create audio DVD." Audio CD and Audio DVD are very similar in steps and instructions, so it's really up to you what you want. Audio DVD gives you a menu and TV options, while Audio CD is able to play in your DVD and your CD player without the menu option. Once you've clicked the Audio DVD button, the program will switch automatically to your next step-setting up your DVD format.
4. Go to the "Audio Format" section of the settings screen and choose either PCM 96/kHz/16bit (an audio quality that is near CD audio, and holds up to six hours of music), PCM 96kHz/24 bit (best quality sound and can hold two hours of audio), or AC3 192 kbps (high quality with up to 46 hours of audio).
5. Choose visual settings: NTSC or PAL for your TV Mode option (NTSC stands for North America and Japan; PAL stands for rest of the world), and which theme you want for your audio background. Once completed, click Next to move onto the Author screen, which will allow you to pull the MP3 files you want into the program.
6. Click on the "Add Music Files" button on the Author screen. The other option is "Add Audio CD," which will allow you to rip songs off of an audio CD that is inserted into your computer's CD drive. The music files option will allow you to pull MP3 files off of your hard drive to use in creating an audio DVD. Once the button is pushed, a new browser window will open, asking you to locate your files.
7. Navigate through your hard drive and select the files you want to put on your audio DVD. You can either add the entire folder of songs by selecting the folder in the left workspace and clicking on the "Add Folder" button to the right, or you can just add individual songs by highlighting the song and pressing the "Add File" button. Once you've added the files you want, click the "OK" button, which will take you back to the Author menu.
8. Check over your audio files, making sure that all songs are there and are in the right order. Click the "Next" button in the bottom right section of the screen.
9. In "Create Menu," select the second option. Here you can burn the audio DVD directly. Select the DVD burner that you would like to use (if you have more than one on your computer).
10. Insert a blank DVD-r into the DVD burner that you specified in Step 9. Close the tray and allow the blank DVD-r to be found.
11. Click the "Go" button in the Create menu. This will start the DVD burning process, putting all of your audio files onto your DVD, which will play on any DVD player you desire.
