does Lplex handle inputs of 44k and 48k along with 16-bit and 24-bit ? 

what does it output?

[aval57]

Input types must be DVD-V compliant: ('+' means supported by Lplex, 'Yes' means allowed by DVD-V):

         Rate  Depth   :   Channels
         (khz) (bits)  :   1     2     5(+1)  8
         -------------------------------------------
         48       16   :   Yes+  Yes+  Yes+   Yes+
                  20   :   Yes   Yes   Yes    -
                  24   :   Yes+  Yes+  Yes+   -
         96       16   :   Yes+  Yes+  -      -
                  20   :   Yes   Yes   -      -
                  24   :   Yes+  Yes+  -      -

so no 44khz because DVD-V standard doesn't allow it. (that's the main drawback of DVD-V as compared to DVD-A).  Its main features:

Authoring:

• Lplex outputs an audio-only DVD-V if you drop a folder of wavs or flacs onto it.
• By default it embeds tags (containing audio md5s and original filenames) into the dvd for future reference during extraction, and includes any non-audio files present in the folder as info files in a special 'XTRA' folder in the dvd (the idea is to create a playable archive disc).
• Playback is gapless by default (unless you specify that it's a compilation with gaps).  To achieve true gapless playback it shifts the track startpoints slightly so that they come into alignment with an immediate video frame (very similar to sector boundary alignment in cd-audio), and this shift is also recorded in the embedded tags for reference during extraction.
• The default video is a black screen unless you supply it with a custom jpeg to use as a background.
• You can create multi-title dvds from the command line, i.e. fit several shows onto one dvd. Pressing 'menu' on your remote jumps playback forward to the beginning of the next titleset.
  

Extraction:

• If instead you drop a folder containing a DVD-V file structure, or put a dvd into your dvd drive and drop that (i.e. drop a VIDEO_TS folder or its parent), Lplex extracts any unencrypted lpcm it finds to either wav or flac, according to your preference.
• If the disc happens to be Lplex-authored, it also verifies the wave-data md5s, reverse-shifts the track startpoints back to their original locations, and restores the original pre-authored file/folder structure for you, including any info files that may have been present.

All of the settings above can enabled/disabled by editing a text format configuration file, or running lplex from the command line.
