DVD-A Burners

[Zapata Prime]

OK here is one for all of you.. Does anyone know of a burner that supports DVD-A playback?? My boss blindsided me with that one this morning and I have no idea.  Any ideas?? Thanks!!

D'ya mean DVD Audio?

Tyup DVD Audio. He wants a DVD burner that can play DVD Audio. None of the specs  that  I have  looked at say anything about DVD Audio playback..

Found this thread about it http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/192524.html



It's a software issue not a hardware one.. I think any DVD burner could do it IF you found software that could author the disk.





3 problems.

1. Finding a DVD-A ripping program will be next to impossible

2. If DVD-A is not your source, what is the point?

3. The format is about as RARE as laser disks and in decline.

And here I thought a DVD Audio disk was just a DVD with mpeg audio in the AUDIO_TS folder, instead of system (video/audio) streams in the VIDEO_TS folder

Pretty much any DVD drive should have no problems reading a DVD-Audio disk.  Finding software that can playback DVD-A also shouldn't be too much of a problem.  But finding a sound card that can actually reproduce the audio in its full quality is where you'll likely run into problems - not many cards out there will do the 192khz/24-bit sampling that DVD-A is capable of.
