I once recorded 6 hours of a radio broadcast by hooking up the analog stereo audio outputs of a receiver to the line in of a Panasonic DMR-E100 recorder. I got 6 hours of good quality audio......but......when I looked at the disc, it appeared to have burned only half of the disc! The disc read "full" on the dvd recorder, yet it appeared to still have considerable blank space left! Am I missing something?
It there some way to get additional time when recording audio only (the E-100 will not excede 6 hours)?
Why did the disc appear to have only been burned 50%?

Also, does the quality of the audio rely on the bitrate or recording mode (XP vs. SP vs. LP vs. EP)?

Any ideas/experiences/suggestions? :confused:

Here's a thread on making an audio DVD using a Pio 640. (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=748661&highlight=Audio+DVD) Everything in the thread should be the same for a Panny.

Removing the video input made a big difference in amount of audio time able to be recorded. See Post #28 in that thread. (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=8885598&&#post8885598)

I heard no difference between the rec. modes.
