![]() In theory, it should be possible with a modified controller/firmware: after all, when you insert a CD, the players usually do check for a range of possibilities, before deciding what to do with it: it is a plain old CD-Audio? Does it have a file system? If so, is it a VideoCD? Is it a Photo CD? Or is it just a bunch of MP3 files? After all, all DVD players can play CD-Audio, but very few play raw WAV, let alone FLAC. ![]() Well.my idea was that somehow a tweaked Red Audio CD (thus without an ISO9660 file system) could be burned into a DVD (just as the physical subtrate, no DVD features or computer file systems and formats would be used, whatsoever), and some player be tricked to treat it as such, hopefully resulting in a very long CD-Audio without the complications of a file system. Has anyone here ever thought or attempted something like this? There are 90 and 99 minute CDs which barely work, but at least they are still technically CDs.įinally, while I remember finding some weird combination of direct image burning commands under Linux which would at least bypass any media-based refusals, the final DVD was of course totally unreadable in all of my players, let alone the DVD-R drive that created it, confusing the hell out of firmwares and file systems, so I gave up and nearly forgot about it ever happening (yup, I had some free time on my hands *rolleyes* ) Secondly, most such programs would not let you create compilations longer than 99m 99s (which is a physical limit dictated by how track indexing works on CD Audio, so even if it was possible to create such a "DVD Audio", it would have to be limited in length, so not really worth it. My idea was motivated by thinking that it would be super-cool if the DVD consortium had allowed for an extended "Red Book" format to be burned simply on DVDs.Īs it turned out however, most burning programs would refuse to burn an audio image (let alone an on-the-fly compilation) to non-CD media. The intended result would be to create a sort of large audio CD with more room to spare (several hours of uncompressed CD quality audio), and which hopefully could trick some DVD players of treating it like an Audio CD rather than a DVD with an unreadable file system. This is just a weird idea I had tried a year or so ago: creating a standard Red Book CD-Audio compilation with any CD-burning program, and then trying to burn it onto a DVD-R medium (or +R, +RW).
