Burning DVD Audio

[The Sumerian]

Hi, what do people here know about DVD Audio and how do you burn it? Can I do it with iDVD?

Not that I'm aware, and I do not think you can make
it with DVD Studio Pro.

You need to use dvda-author. The bloke who codes xACT has made a GUI but I'm afraid I can't find the URL. If you need it you can try contacting him via the xACT Yahoo group.

Toast 7 will make audio DVDs, but I suspect it's only from AIFF files, The DVD audio spec allows for a much more robust sound format, but I'm not sure what you'd use to create it (assuming you're creating your own music or making live recordingsa; if you start out with a CD as your source, then Toast is fine)

Toast7 makes what they refer to as "Music DVDs", which are standard DVD-Video spec discs, with the bitrate emphasis on the audio, using some still picture for the video. It is focused on creating discs with compressed audio (AC3 or MP2--mp2 more likely), so one can load up long playing times/numerous tracks on a single disc.

Not to be confused with the DVD-Audio spec (which Toast doesn't support yet).

Supports any audio file as the source - output is dolby or pcm, up to 96khz/24-bit pcm.
