Title: DVD-A authoring program now imports FLAC
Post by: live2496 on February 07, 2008, 09:08:03 PM

This was announced on the FLAC pages...

DVD-Audio Solo DVD-A authoring software supports FLAC.

That seems weird since on this page they talk about flac and upsampling to 24 bit 96kHz. I would hope that they support 24/96 without conversion.

I don't have a DVD burner on this computer, but I installed the demo and dragged a 24/96 FLAC file from the left window to the middle window. It seemed to take it ok.

At what point to you get an error?

Got the software installed on another computer. I did get a disc to burn tonight using 24/96 flacs.

The software seems to build an image file first, then goes through a burn process. Each time, you get progress indicated with the pie chart. So there seems to be two distinct steps.

I just need something now that I can play the DVD-A on. The DVD player at home doesn't like it, but an iMac at least recognizes the disc, though it reports it as being an unsupported disc type. I will need to hook up a DVD player capable of playing DVD-A.

P.S. forgot to mention... I emailed their tech support this week and they indicated that it should work with 24/96 flac files. If it's not working for you they might want to dig into the problem to find out why.
