    Hi
    I wanted to make a Doly Digital CD, so i burned a CD with a 16-bit/44.1 Khz Dolby Digital wave file.But my DVD player couldn't play it.I only heard some digital noise.Even the app PowerDVD SP couldn't play the file, although the website from which i got the info about these DD CDs http://www.kellyindustries.com/diy_5_1.html states that PowerDVD XP supports these files. My version is Power DVD Xp. 4.0.So i also downloaded the sample DD wav file from the Website.That didn't work either.Why is this hapenning

    Another website, http://www.modernrecording.com/articles/2000/apr/cd-ac3.shtml also stated that these problem sometime occur in some decoders because they want the Audio/Data bit in the stream to be set to DATA instead of AUDIO.This problem can be correctedby "splicing a second of DTS dead air on the front of the DD Wave file."
    -But i don't have any DTS wav files.I would appreciate if someone could upload me a 1-second DTS blank wave file with preferably 16-bit/44.1 Khz..

    Thanx for any help

  2. Ive made a few of these and DTS versions too. First of all the sound needs to be 48 Khz not 44.1 khz, try that and see wot you get. I used Sonic Foundry Softencode to make Dolby Digital Wave Files.

    Oh, by mistake i had tested a 48 khz. file, even before u said it. It didn't work.Now i also tested a 44.1 khz file, that didn't work either.Have u tested your DD Wave files on Cyberllink PowerDVD ?If so, did it work?i also use Sonic Foundry Softencode to encode my DD Wave files.But if what ur saying, that to use 48 khz. files, then why do all the websites tell us to use 44.1 khz.?
    Btw, what DTS encoder do u use? is it free?And, like i said, could u upload a 1 second long blank DTS wave file?

    Thanx

    As I recall, you need the full blown version of PowerDVD 5 to play it. Lite and bundled versions don't support it (costs $$$ for licensing).

    Read the instructions again. It must be 44.1kHz! (See step #4)

    Well, as i said i had been testing with a 48 khz. file, thinking it was 44.1. Now i tested a 44.1 khz. file and it worked.I had to start this thread just because of my silly mistake...
