I burned a DVD-A disc of a track I recorded a few years back but didn't have
a DVDA player to play the thing on at the time- I went to a local Richer
Sounds (UK HiFi retailer) and asked if they'd let me try playing it but they
weren't having any of it so "Boo!" to RS! However, my new housemate does
have a SACD/ DVDA player so I intend to give this another go shortly- in
next few days with any luck so I can get back to you on that if you want?
They've re-issued the early Crimson albums on DVDA so I'd like to get some
of them in 5.1 DVDA too. He's also got a frickn' Laserdisc player which
impressed the hell out of me for some silly reason but we've not got any LDs
yet so thats another disc issue on my TODO list.

Jörn,
a standard DVD can only play back PCM stereo or AC-3 multitrack audio.
In order to burn multitrack uncompressed audio you need to use the DVD-A
format. From what I see, most DVD players do not recognize that format, only
"hi end" devices like the upper price Pioneers.
To burn DVD-As there's a VERY affordable application by Minnetonka
'diskwelder bronze', 35 USD if I remember. It works like a snap and all
DVD-A compatible players recognize it (that I've tried). But that is Win
only software, you bet.
Good luck,
Jürgen

hi *!
i'm trying to get a couple home-spun surround mixes out to friends and
customers. i wonder: is there a way to author dvds under linux with dts
audio tracks? ac3 won't really suffice in terms of sound quality.
better yet, i'd like to use five uncompressed
pcm streams, and the
wikipedia article on dvd-video seems to indicate it's
possible - has anyone
done it, and will consumer dvd players handle it?
best,
jörn
