Re: Dvd Audio authoring -how to put audio on DVDs

HI Spoon, great thread here and you da man!
I have tried ripping few .mp3 and .wav songs onto my dvd ( no good)so I can have plenty songs in one dvd rather than to have many CDs -so as to play in my car dvd player.
How do I do that? What is the best program, optimal KHz, speed, bitrate, etc? Do I need special CODECs to hear in my car? I am using a dell optiplex PC with DVD burner. Please advice, in detail if possible.
Thank You.

Re: Dvd Audio authoring

IIRC, DVD Audio Solo, and the DVD-Audio standard in general supports 16-bit, 44.1kHz [standard audio cd] files, so upconverting to 24bit should not be necessary. Upconverting will not enhance quality and will only make the files larger, thus allowing less music to fit on the DVD itself.

Any of those.

Re: Dvd Audio authoring

In your opinion, which codec will satisfy you if you were ripping cds and then encoding to 96/24...WMA lossless,FLAC, or WAV?

dBpoweramp Music Converter: Reference (see dBpoweramp Configuration)

What application has a professional frequency conversion? Is it in Adobe Audition?

No nothing can enhance the quality. Converting with 'professional frequency conversion' enabled will preseve as much qualtity as possible when converting to a format to import to dvd.

I've been upsampling or resampling my audio files for my dvd audio projects. My files are from original cds and some WMA lossless, mp3 files. I assumed that resampling to 96khz 24 bit will enhance the quality but I just read an article that I'm losing quality when I perform this action. What is the best way to enhance my files so I can import into my dvd audio program? What is the best way (codec) to rip my cds to 96/24 so I can import to Dvd Audio Solo?
