Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions So, You Say You Want To Graph Your Sub's FR, HUH?

Ok, so what am I doing wrong? Actually I am somewhat technical when it comes to Computers, but for some reason I can't get this to work. I burn DVD's all the time, so what is up?

Ok, I use VERITAS Record Now DX, which came with my Sony DVD burner. I downloaded the Realtraps ZIP file, uncompressed it into a folder I created. I can go into that folder and listen to the various MP3 files and pink noise wave file using Media Player or whatever. However, when using my RecordNow wizzard and placing these files on a CD, it is not working on my DVD player for my HT. I assumed my Toshiba DVD player, although a bit older, was not capable of playing/recognizing MP3 format, so I whipped out my new HP laptop from work which has a DVD player and WinDVD installed, it also does not recognize the files.

I used create Data disk and moved the files to the CD, that may be the problem. However, if I try to create a a Music Disc and then select Create a Music Disc from Audio files (Mp3/Wav) it then tells me the files can't be recorded as they are the incorrect format? When I click details, it says something about MP3's and Wavs have to be in 16bit stereo using 22 or 44.1 khz sampling rate.

So I'm a bit confused, heck I don't even own an SPL meter yet, and if I found these so called Holes, would not know what to do to fix them anyway. Just curious about all the things you experts mess with

I used iTunes to burn my disc and had no issues.

I'm guessing your DVD player may not be able to play MP3s... not all of them can do it. Can you check if your player includes support for native MP3s ?

I'm rusty on the details of converting MP3s to make "a normal music CD", can anyone jump in here ?

Ctrl-Alt-Del.....End Task,

Ok, I figured it out, thanks guys for your input. Yep, turns out my Toshiba player can't play MP3's, at least the latest versions, I noticed I would hear clicking sounds, but no tones. So I headed off to the bedroom and put the disc into our cheap Apex $38 player. A menu then came up with the various tracks.

So now I just need to convice the wife that we need a new player for the new HT in our basement. Oh yeah, then I need to go get an SPL meter at some point.

Thanks again!

Jack,

Order yourself some Quake Secure to silence the things that vibrate. Go here.

Relatively inexpensive and works very, very well...also does not leave residue like the Blue Tack may sometimes.
