Hi,
I have a DVD-Audio disc with 5.1 channel audio which I can't play
using my standalone DVD player (it doesn't support DVD-A) so I was
wondering, is here any way I can play this in my Linux machine
(providing I have a multichannel audio interface, of course)? I don't
seem to find any DVD-A software player and the DVD players like
mplayer and Totem only play the 2-channel+video version that it's also
included in the disc (inside the VIDEO_TS directory). I can see
several .aob files in the AUDIO_TS directory, is there any way of
ripping the 6 channels out of these files in case there is no direct
way of playing them?
Thanks!
Hector

I haven't had any DVD-Audio discs, but I have had great luck playing
almost everything with the VLC media player.

Thanks Phil for the reply, according to the VLC web site there is no
support for DVD-A. I installed it and tried anyways and the results
are the same: it only plays the Video part with stereo audio. So far
it looks that only WinDVD and PowerDVD can play DVD-A but of course
only for Windows. It looks like it's a licensing issue and the fact
that aob files are encripted in a way that makes it impossible to
rip... unless someone here knows how.

Arrgh! I hate monopolies and companies that won't stick to open standards!
I always write the companies that employ the broken or non-standards and
tell them that they are missing out on quite a large potential audience
by using software that is limited to Microsoft/Apple.

Do either of those applications run in wine?
There is a discussion about ripping dvd-a's at
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96860&page=1&pp=20 where you
might find something useful.

FWIW, there is a european company that produces a modded DVD player that
gives you 3x S/PDIF for the DVD-A and/or SACD output (yes, that includes
DSD to PCM converters). Normal DVD-A players only support playing DVD-A
to analog outputs.

You sure there's not also a 5.1 mix on there as an alternate audio
track? The one DVD-A I ripped for someone who bought it (Fragile by
Yes) had both stereo and Dolby 5.1 audio tracks in VIDEO_TS. Check
it out in Acidrip or something that lists audio tracks.
Not that I'd know what format you'd rip it into.... do any Ogg Vorbis
players actually support its multichannel abilities? I made an .ogg
file at the time but had no way to test it without a surround setup
and he wasn't able to play it on his Windows box (this was in 2003.)

Thanks for the information. I'm more interested in playing the DVD-A
rather than ripping it. I was wondering about ripping as an option for
playback from Ardour, for example. There seems to be no Linux software
that can play DVD-A, as far as I can see. The DVD-A I'm trying to play
has only a stereo version in the VIDEO_TS directory and not 5.1. My
standalone DVD player can't read the AUDIO_TS directory at all so
adding SPDIF outputs is not a way to go for me, thanks anyway for the
tip, it's interesting to learn that such modifications can be done.
