Burnt a 'music dvd' for someone (when I burn a disc for myself, I do dvd-a with audiofile).  Anyone au fait with Toast menus? - 24/96 custom:

1. when I select "auto-play disc on insert", plays fine in ca 650bd (same media chipset as oppo) universal player into dac, track 1 onwards; but when I click through to a later track, it will play it & then annoyingly go back to next in the original track position; say finish track 15, & head next to track 2. Weird.
2. when I de-select "auto-play" for disc burn, it then just brings up "Title" in the players info window & can only be played through the hdmi/tv on-screen menu; won't send a signal through to dac via spdif co-ax.  Very weird.

Any thoughts?

Isn't a music DVD simply a DVD with mp3s on it?

Try burning it as a video DVD

Yep, for hi rez files it will need to be recorded as a video DVD. With Toast 8 I had problems with the track order being recognized, maybe they have fixed that in Toast 10.

Yeh, sorry ... I was using the 'video dvd' window in Toast 10. But, just couldn't solve  tracking order issues, as described above.  Maybe, it's just a bug.  I might look at Roxio to see if there's an update.

Toast sucks for authoring video.
I have never been able to successfully use any version of Toast to make an audio only video DVD with high resolution 24-96 files.  I've tried FLAC, AIFF, WAV and always get the same result.

The program crashes every time on my mid 2009 Macbook Pro during the "creation" process.

I had to resort to using an (excellent) authoring program called Audio DVD Creator within a Parallels window and (ack!) Win XP-Home.  I can burn directly or create .iso images which can be subsequently burned in Toast.

Yes, I have used audio dvd creator on my pc laptop and it is an excellent program for burning 24/96 and 24/48 to DVD. Unfortunately there is not a version for Windows 7 last time I checked.
