matt1122 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Okay, I really want to know why, with the price of DVD reading technology being as low as it is, audio equipment manufacturer's havent started just making all of their equipment able to read DVDs, regardless of whether they support DVD Audio or not. I mean, you could fit a LOT of music on a DVD, GREAT for making mixes for long road trips.Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of anything like this, especially if it comes in an HU-613 compatible CD Changer flavor. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I've always wondered that too. I mean, MP3 DVDs would be great. AFAIK, there's only one portable burner by sony that can do that. But as for car audio, any decks that support it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyR Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 car audio is ALWAYS behind the curve in trends, and factory car audio about a decade after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veneficus Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Haha,... yeah, I've been using my laptop lately and putting dvds in it (MP3 DVDs) but it can get a little confusing with about 170 hours of audio on a dvd. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veneficus Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 And that's probably why they don't do it.←Yes, its probably also becasue if you want to get it you have to buy one of the ICE screens to go with it. Man, I think I still got my whole setup for less than I would pay for a screen and I can do a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you be able to have everything in individual folders, just like you do on an MP3 encoded cdrom? It wouldn't be that hard to jog though individual folders.. would it? That's why I like the idea of the Kenwood Music Keg, you can have custom playlists created and stored, that way you wouldn't have to do anything, just open the playlist and you're set. (granted you wouldn't have the DVD screen, which is what I think Travis' initial inquiry was about. (in this thread here)but hey.. it's just a thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 you can get hard drive hu's, which could be better than dvd audio...upgrade to like a 120 gig drive and you're set!...transfer mp3's through usb 2.0 or whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veneficus Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 One problem that you'll run into with HDDS is that you'll have a load of problems if you drive on crappy roads. They are pretty prone to skipping. I think laptop hdds are a little more resistant than the standard drives which is why they generally run at much lower rpms and with lower rpms your search time skyrockets. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
