mp3 on dvd
5 Answers
i can put a few LP`s in mp3 format on to a CD to play in my car sterio but when i try to do the same with a dvd disc the sterio does not recognise the disc. Is there any way i can put music in an mp3 format on to a dvd disc so my sterio can play it or am i being too greedy in wanting more music on one disc ?

The reason your car CD player can't read a DVD is because the tracks are so much closer together.
A CD holds around 650 MB of data, a DVD holds 4.7GB roughly seven times as much on the same size disc. The way this is achieved is by using much narrower tracks which is read by a blue laser ( narrower beam 650nm wavelength ) rather than a red laser ( 780 nm wavelength) used in CD players.
