Please explain "wav-mp3" in BeSweet

[mikewillnot]

Could someone either explain, or point me to an explanation of, the "wav-mp3" setting in BeSweet? I'd like to take a 122 mb conversion / soundtrack, presently captured from vob's using that setting, and burn them as an audio CD (cda), fitting it all on one 700mb disc (without inflating them to full .cda size). THANKS.

wav-mp3 is an mp3 file with a wav header, so you can mux it with the video file in VirtualDub.

It makes no sense to convert an mp3 to wav-mp3 for audio-cd. For audio-cd, you need real wav, which means 10MB per minute, no way around it.

Ah. Thank you. Must say, that 10mb/min is reeeely annoying. Funny there isn't some way around that. Conversions from .mp3 just don't have that much data in them.

you don't need to convert you mp3s to wav
nero can burn straight from mp3 to audio-cd
but still it will burn max 80 minutes per cd
audio-cd is a standard you can't overcome
