Re: [SurroundSound] Authoring CD WAV files to DVD-A

I agree that Cirlinca HD Audio Solo is good software to use for such a project. It is a lot easier to use than Disc Welder.
Authoring to DVD-V might require your to make 16/48 of the 16/44 and who knows what that might do to the sound quality. Nor do I see any advantage to up it to 24bit.
DVD-A will take 16/44 natively.

Subject: [SurroundSound] Authoring CD WAV files to DVD-A

 

I tried posting this earlier but it never appeared....

One of the disadvantages of playing FLAC files on my Oppo is the lack of gapless playback. A workaround is to create a single FLAC file, but then you lose track info and navigation between tracks. However, if you have an Oppo with firmware that supports ISO playback, you can play DVD-A, DVD-V, and BD ISOs gaplessly with menus, track info, and track navigation, exactly the same as playing the physical disc.

This got me to thinking whether you could author WAV/PCM files from a CD to DVD-A or even DVD-V format that would be gapless and have track info and track navigation. I would only be interested in converting redbook CD's so MLP compression is unnecessary, and size doesn't matter anyway since the end result I want is an ISO and I don't care whether it fits on a physical disc.

I don't have any experience authoring to DVD-A, is this something that's possible? I would only try this for some of my gapless recordings, but I would be interested to hear from some of the authoring experts whether this is something to pursue or totally off-base.
