Topic: DVD audio in 24 bit or 16?

[keytohwy]

I'm about to finish authoring a DVD of a popular artist and post on a popular torrent site.  I've sync'd the miniDV video with a separate 24 bit audio source.  My question for you all is:  Should I make a DVD with 24 bit audio, or dither and make it 16 bit?  I plan on adding the original camera audio as a secondary audio choice in ac3 format.

thoughts?

I only use 16 and don't bother with keeping cam audio.  main reason is so I have as much room as I can to get the video bit rate as high as possible.

I also opt for hi video bit rate i usually use a constant bit rate of 8 for video,which usually means a 2 dvd set or dual layer.you can put 16-48 or 24-48 as well as 24-96 on a  standard dvd video or put your standard def video with maximum video and audio bitrate authored to 25gb bluray disc.
