I must be doing something wrong or I overlooked something was wondering I recorded a mix using VDJ and it was approx. 20 min long and then played it back on VDJ no problem, played it on my xbox 360 no problem, played in my car no luck, tried another car radio no luck Do I have to Do something else like convert it or something. i used windows media player to burn it and tried Cyberlink Suite. It wouldn't rip it to my xbox until I used the CD I burned with the program Cyberlink Suite. Thanks For Your Time

....Ive had the same issues with playbk on car stereos and the like...It all comes dwn to the wrong format/ or the format your in will never b supported by the device.....Usually the newer the playing source..ie cd player, etc. the better compatibility.........Now to change formats...1st I would copy the file a couple times in case you mess something up!!... =D......then you need a file converter...Lots of free ones out there...think cnet downloads.com.....I use "Format Factory"....its a free dwnload......will convert to any format you could ever want....then its again just trial and error as to what format ur car cd player will play...U might check the cd player manufacturers website for compatible audio formats for your model.....hope this helps!.........
FYI...Ive had NOTHING but glitches and problems with Win Media Player every version!....I recommend "MediaMonkey"....free and Soooo much nicer......enjoy....It will let you burn to multiple formats as well....usually Mp3 is the most universal here in the US that is..........

easy fix, heres how
when the dialogue box comes up asking to label the disk, theres an arrow pointing down that gives you more options, you can have data disc or mastered disc.
you need to select mastered disc. this will alllow you to play the disc on ANY cd player. data disc is selected by default and therefore burns your discs as mp3/wav depending on what format you saved your set in.
when this happens you can only play back on devices that support mp3 and wav. so unless your device is mp3/wav compatible then it wont play.
To burn a disc using the Mastered format
Choose the Mastered format when you need a highly compatible disc that will play in computers with an older version of Windows or in media devices such as CD and DVD players that can read digital music and video files.
1.Insert a writeable CD or DVD into your computer's CD or DVD recorder.
2.In the dialog box that appears, click Burn files to data disc.
3.In the Burn a Disc dialog box, type a name for this disc, and then click Show formatting options. (little arrows ponting down)
4.Click Mastered, and then click Next.
An empty disc folder opens.
5.Open the folder that contains the files you want to burn, and then drag the files into the empty disc folder.
6.On the toolbar, click Burn to disc.
The selected files are copied to the disc. When the disc burning is complete, the disc burner tray will open and you can remove the disc. You can now use the disc in another computer or media device. This type of disc does not need to be closed.
To burn a disc using the Live File System format
1.Insert a writeable CD or DVD into your computer's CD or DVD recorder.
2.In the dialog box that appears, click Burn files to data disc.
3.In the Burn a Disc dialog box, type a name for this disc, and then click Next.
It might take several minutes for the disc to be formatted in the default Live File System format. When the formatting is complete, an empty disc folder opens.
4.Open the folder that contains the files you want to burn, and then drag the files into the empty disc folder.
You can copy files to the disc folder by dragging them to the disc icon or to an open disc folder
As you drag files into the disc folder, they are copied automatically to the disc.

That sounds like alot What program are u using when you are talking about the dialogue box. If anybody else has a easier solution help me out please

UH??
an easier solution???
put a disc in, a dialogue box appears,choose burn data to disc, hit next, choose mastered...how more simple can it be??? you obv didnt read the post..its basic windows procedure.. even my gran can do that..and my 6yo daughter.
no offence intended, but its that simple..any other way is not going to be more simple. its impossible to get simpler.
the dialogue box is built into windows, im not using any programme. why would i use another programme when it takes only a few clicks in windows to burn a disc.
if your wondering what the dialogue box looks like, its a box labelled "Burn a Disc", and asks for a "Disc Title", under the text box is an arrow called "show formatting options".

My Bad I didnt think it was that easy MISSION ACCOMPLISHED I just thought that since it was using Media Player i was gonna get the same results. But I was wrong SORRY to get you so worked up so since you know how to do that is it possible to RECORD A VIDEO MIX THEN BURN THE MIX ON A CD
Posted Sun 19 Jun 11 @ 4:42 pm
Blulite
yeah, sorry if i seemed rude, ive had a bad day and this made my head hurt which made me cranky. (very cranky)
im glad you got it worked out, yup, its that easy...easer than expected really. sometimes ppl overlook the basics in search of results.
anywho!
as it happens, yeah i do know how to burn a video mix, its the exact same way.
however depending on the size of the video sometimes your vid just doesnt fit on one disc. for moments like that i like to keep some dual layer DVDR's handy which hold over 9gb.
files are output as AVI i believe. which decreases the size and also allows you to burn the disc as a data disc.
when burning a data disc with AVI, you can only play them in a player that allows such playback. most recent DVD players will have AVI playback capability. but some dont. xbox, ps3, pc, laptop, and most recent dvd players are all compatable with AVI.
so your choices are,
same procedure using the mastered option on the condition the video will fit to one 4.7gb disc
same procedure using the mastered option on the conditin you use a dual layer dvdr to fit your complete video on.
same procedure using DATA DISC setting, on the condition your player is capable of playing it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
other than these options, there is the route of using third party video editing software to create the discs as a movie disc.
(i sometimes use Corel Video Studio to create movie discs but only if i actually need to edit anything. for example my webcam doesnt record very good sound so i have to sync my recorded audio to the video before creating the final video)
hope this helps and sorry for my crap attitude earlier, john.

oh and just so you guys know, if you burn a disc in WMP and do not set the disc to be burned as master, WMP will automatically burn the disc as a data disc, thus resulting in none playback in your car, on your hifi etc. unless it its Mp3 compatable.

Does anyone know if Windows Media Player break up mix sets into tracks instead of having one long one and a half hour track? I am trying to break this track up instead of having just one long track. Does Windows Media player do it? Is there another software that does the job of breaking long mix sets up into tracks?

I hate WMP, avoid it at all costs.
try www.winamp.com the free one, and/or iTunes

Probably not what you want but you could map a button that'll split your tracks as your recording. Not sure what controller your using but if its a full MIDI controller you can also set it up so that when you crossfade it splits.
Just throwin some ideas out

you can use the auto split on crossfade option in vdj config to split your set. im sure theres another optio for just an auto split. other than that use audacity and manually split it.
