Topic: Anyone know how to burn 16/48 wav files to audio DVD?

[phishn]

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 know, but it wont play anything back unless its 16/44.1k correct???so, if this is the case, then id compress them anyway!! ;)if not, dont listen to me

and schwilly, all it is is 1's and 0's anyway, which is data!!

[Sean Gallemore]

binary is so limiting!

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

[phishn]

^^ in this case..its converting a video type dvd with just the sound.

[zhianosatch]

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?

[phishn]

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   )

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