Deleted the existing audio file in DVD SP and reimported the audio file for my project as a aiff file, burned the HD DVD and it worked perfectly in a friends Toshiba HD-A1 DVD player.

Wish Toshiba hadn’t told me to update the firmware. I’m sending in back to them tomorrow with an explanation in hopes that they’ll either exchange it for one with the old firmware so I can use it.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks, I’ll try your settings and let you know what happens. Will this work with the latest firmware update as after installing that nothing worked for me, not video OR audio. Video worked before the firmware update.

Thank you so much for the help and suggestions,

Be careful if you get the Toshiba HD-A1 High Definition DVD player.

I just bought the Toshiba thinking it would only play back the video of the HD DVD authored in DVD SP, no audio. When I called Toshiba they said that there had been “Issues” with playback on the HD DVD disc’s authored. They told me to UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE. I did what they suggested and now neither works.

IF YOU OWN ONE OF THESE DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL CAUSE YOUR DVD TO NOT EVEN PLAY BACK ANY VIDEO OR AUDIO AND IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE HD DVD’S AT ALL.

I then called Toshiba again and they told me they didn’t guarantee it to work with anything other than store purchased HD Discs and that if one of those played then the player was fine and there was NO PROBLEM.

THE TECH GUYS SAYS IF IT PLAYS BACK THOSE HD DVD’S THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. Basically I bought this just to play back my HD burned DVD’s at the highest quality. But the unit doesn’t work for that at all.

Another of my clients bought one thinking it would work and it doesn’t either. I was able to warn the about not doing the upgrade suggested by Toshiba. They still don’t have it right.

And it only cost me $500, I wish I’d never purchased it.

I just bought it 11-01-06 and hopefully Toshiba will let me exchange the player for one that hasn’t been updated.

You say that the audio aiff file would work with the HD DVD?

Thanks for the input. Toshiba has NOT been very helpful at all with this apparent problem. Alot of money to pay for a machine that doesn’t work properly.
