putting AC3 onto a CD that can be read by most DVD players

[lourenc2]

I came across this site and was curious as to what some of you guys thought about it and whether it could be used to make vcds or svcds

Again for the last time. VCD spec does NOT support multichannel (ie, 3+ channels) audio of any kind. SVCD spec ONLY supports multichannel MPEG audio. However, very few dvd players output it correctly & even fewer receivers decode it correctly. SVCD specs does not support .wav, nor .ac3, nor DTS, etc.

This article is talking about DD CD-audio only, not VCD/SVCD. Completely different things.

I tried this AC3 on a CD - my player recognised it as a CDDA disc, and made no attempt to decode, just tried to play it as a normal stereo WAV file.

If anyone has tried and made this work I would be interested to hear...
