[SurroundSound] Re: Can you stream DVD-A Audio Object Files with a DLNA server?

In answer to your question, yes you can rip FLAC's from VOB's or
AOB's. Just be sure to label the source of these FLAC files if you
decide to share FLAC's ripped from a VOB container (lossy DTS or DD)
so that someone doesn't mistake these lossy files as lossless. There
was a discussion of this in another thread at SSGG awhile back.

The FLAC files should be identical to the original source, just
compressed losslessly.
