Hi Joern,
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?
The dvd authoring tool /should/ not care what data you give it.
I like `dvdauthor` but takes some learning writing its XML format;
the `devede` GUI can create them for you.
ffmpeg can encode ac3/dts - well, check
`ffmpeg -formats` and `ffmpeg -codecs` on your box.
ffmpeg versions differ greatly.
ac3 won't really suffice in terms of sound
quality.
You do realize that you can also just use raw PCM for audio on DVDs:
48 kHz or 96 kHz, 16 or 24 bit, 2-6 channels; but only up to 6144 kbit/s
better yet, i'd like to use five uncompressed pcm
streams, and the
wikipedia article on dvd-video seems to indicate it's possible
oh, you did realize :)
- has anyone done it
stereo PCM: yes. 5chan: no
and will consumer dvd players handle it?
I use 'ogle' http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ to test DVD iso
images. It does not use any big frameworks like ffmpeg or gstreamer for
the decoding and besides supporting DVD-menus it usually only plays what
will also play on a hardware DVD player.
