Post by: phishn on December 27, 2003, 10:18:39 PM
Playing around with DVD burner..anyone know how to make an audio DVD disk using wav files that are beyond cd quality ( such as 16/48 and 24/96)?  Playing around with nero 6 and cant figure it out.

they have to be compressed, try them in flac and it should work!!!

i believe dvd audio quality is 16/48 and higher..and DVD audio should play back at these higher rates..this is what my motive is..to have audio DVD's that I can play in my high end system.

You can burn DVD-A discs with the 48/16 audio tracks: not FLACed or SHNed.  You need DVD authoring software to do it.  http://www.discwelder.com/

Right after I posted that I talked to a friend who thinks that it is possible to use the DVD format with a 48/16 audio track and a still image for the video.  That would allow you to burn a "video" DVD that would play on standard players.  Alot of DVD players don't support DVDA but could play a standard DVDV disk with soundtrack.  Maybe someone else on the board has done this and could comment.  That sure would be better than paying $500 for software.

your correct on this point, burn a video dvd with an image or no image and it will play on your standard dvd player, but you do need discwelder and i think its the only authoring software out there right now i believe to do dvd audio, hope this helps

yeah someone suggested this alternate method on a thread not too long ago.  they said to use sonicfoundry's dvd-architect.  i downloaded the program but haven't found the time to try it out yet.  im curious if this alternate method will allow you to burn 24/48 or only 16/48.

think i may have found a workaround solution.  convert wav to avi..then run an avi to dvd converter.  this link explains how to convert avi to dvd..burn, etc.   http://www.avi-vcd.com/avi-to-dvd.asp

Isn't .avi a compressed format? Won't that compress the audio as well as the "video?"

Oh great.  Now I guess I don't have any more excuses.

Is the Pioneer A106 the current favorite?

avi doesnt seem to compress the audio.  just save your wav file from soundforge or whatever as avi.  Its saved at 16/48 in the avi.

DVD-Video supports any combination of 16,20, 24 bit and 48, 96 sampling rates.
DVD-A can support 16,20, and 24-bit and 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz sampling rates.

Disc Welder is only necessary for creating DVD-A discs. It is not necessary for creating DVD Video discs with audio and a still shot . You should be able to create these discs with any DVD Video software as long as it supports the desired bit and sampling rates. 16/48 shouldn't be a problem, higher rates will depend on the software.  

*Note
I have not tried this yet but I will as soon as the DVD burner arrives this week  ;D )

This one works well, even though you can only go up to 16/48 with tmpg.
