Answer 1

what file format are you using? Your car may not play mp3 files. Make sure the music file format is correct by looking at your car stereo manual. Maxwell cd-r works fine for most file types.

Answer 2

What format are you saving to the CD? If it is MP3 then that is your problem. Some DVD players can play DVDs but most standard car CD Players can not. You need to convert the MP3s to standard audio tracks - Nero Burning ROM will do this automatically if you choose Audio CD as your output format.



Byron is right about video quality - a lot of what you get on the web is poor quality to start with and there is not much you can do about that

Answer 3

CDR is the correct format. I would stick with a name brand for the most "luck" in playing in sometiems finnicky car audio cd players.



Make sure that everything you burn for non computer play is "closed" that when you choose to burn from your CD program that option is selected. It will basically "complete" the disk so nothing else can be burned to it but write the "book" as complete so non pc devices can read it like any other audio cd.



As for quality of videos, most of that is the video source and not your actual pc :)

Answer 4

you desire a conversion software which will convert your track to WAV. if your track is mp3 or wma , be certain your vehicle Stereo can play those codecs. then you certainly does no longer could convert the format. risk-free guess is that your vehicle Stereo performs WAV merely. what's it? Its an extention like this occasion - " Hottowncity.wav " , which will play in almost any CD participant. if it rather is like " Hottowncity.wma " , enable desire your CD participant can cope with it. different clever Burn your CD with track converted to WAV. you may haven't any problems.

Answer 5

playback in your car may be problematic because your car's cd player isn't cd-r/rw compatible. most players will say right on the front what formats they support. another thing is that if you are burning your cds as mp3 cds they may not playback. for that, your cd player needs to say that it is mp3 compatible. if it isn't be sure that you are burning your cds as regular audio cds (you should only be able to fit the regular 120 min of music on them) and be sure that your burning software finalizes the cd when it burns it.

Answer 6

If it works in the DVD player then it should be fine...

Do other CD's work in the car?



Try buying a different brand of (CD-R Music) CD's... they usually work for me.
