Answer 1

i think i would love to help you if u explained it a bit more clearer and it is far too complicated!!!!!!!

Answer 2

there isnt enough space on the disc. no DVD disc has 10GB of space.

also the way you type needs some drastic attention.

split the files into 3 folders, fill 2 with 4.7GB or under, dont go over that, and put what is left in the last folder. it will take 3 dvd writable discs.

depending on your drive, you should be able to use DVD-R CD-R CD-RW aswell. (RW discs can be cleared, R discs cant)

there are 2 typs of disc, some drives can read and write to both types. the 2 diffrent types are + and -

you might have bought the wrong type for your drive.

Answer 3

Question1 -try mp3magic- easy to use.Split by selections,time or size. Available here http://applian.com/mp3magic/index.php

Question 2:- 10 gig will probably need at least 3 discs depending on size of discs.DVD-RW tend to be problematic sometimes so try dvd-R ,or dvd +R  . Nero is best burning program.

Answer 4

10 is too much as dvd's are only 4.7

if you try to put say 5 on a disc you will get an error message.

if the music is seperate tracks pick the 9.4 you want for the 2 dvds and save the rest till you get more .

why it is rejecting your disc's i have no idea.

only suggestion download another burner program and try again with a new disc.

i use "free easy burner"it's free

hope this helps

Answer 5

First, remember that a DVD is only 4.7 gigs., so the max you can put on two discs is 9.4 gigs.

When you say you want to split audio tracks... do you mean cut a song in half, where the first half would be on one DVD and the second half of the song would be on another?

If you already started writing to a disc, then that disc is of no use to you.  You need to start with a disc that has nothing on it.

Are you using the default XP disc writer, as opposed to Nero or one of the after market writing suites?  If you are selecting less than 4.7 gigs to write to a fresh disc, and your burner is working properly, then there should be no problems at all.

Answer 6

As for the audio track i don't know but the biggest DVD -/+ RW is 4.7gb so even if you could it might not be big enough. If the discs you use already have stuff on it you might have already formatted the disc as a mastered one which means that you have to put everything you want on it in one go which is the very first time you use it and if you try again it won't recognize it as a blank disc. You can be sure what type of disc it is because if you are using windows XP you will be using the mastered version.If you are using vista, you can check how to check it on the internet.

1. Download Sony Acid Trial, best audio editing software around in my opinoin.

2.DVD's hold much more data than CD's so DVD discs are much more preferable it might just be your software not allowing that. A good program to use is DVDFab although my reccommendation to you is purchase and external hardrive, much more easier to backup your data.

Answer 8

I used the goldwav trialware to split my music, worked a treat. go to videohelp.com and theres loads of software and software help up on there and ppl rate it and talk about experiences so you get a good idea of ease of use.

you may need to compress your your music. again search the videohelp forums for help they are really good. i've been on there so many times and never once has the site let me down (almost like a bible!) I think videohelp.com will also show you software for compression and or changing file type. I know in asian countries they have something sick like 150-200 tracks on one cd, not dvd, thats amazing. they use mp3 and I think the NTFS file system but you need to research this. I couldn't tell the difference in quality as I listened to the tracks on long distance journeys so a lot of chitchat and singing along going on but I know for sure that although not noticeable, the quality will be much lower due to compression.
