    MLP conversion

    I am trying to convert mlp files (Meridian Lossless Processing) into wav or flac files. Is there a codec in dbpoweramp convertor that will do this? Will this be available soon?

    From Google:
    Can I decrypt/rip a DVD-A (DVD-Audio) disk? What format does DVD-A use?

    DVD-A uses either LPCM or a lossless encoding called MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing), and supports up to 24 bit and 192 KHz audio. Due to the strong encryption of DVD-Audio, there is no way at this time to decrypt DVD-A disks. One possibility for extracting the audio would be to attach the S/PDIF out of your DVD-A player to the S/PDIF in of your soundcard. Due to the strong encryption of the DVD-A format and the extremely high cost of MLP decoder licenses, there may never be an ideal solution for ripping DVD-A.

      Well, I actually think this is bad advice. You will not be able to record from the DVD-A via the optical connection, due to the fact that all DVD-A players (by law) have to disable any digital outputs upon being played. DVD-A's will only play via analog connections (at least this is how both my soundcard and DVD player documentation puts it).

        Right, so it probably won't work.

        Perhpas dMC Auxiliary Input - unless again its usage gets blocked by that effect of disabling other outputs. Somebody has to try it, all I can say.
