Does anyone here know of DVD-V authoring software that will allow placing varying sample rate and bit depth stereo PCM audio tracks on a DVD-V?
I am trying to create a DVD-V disc with a variety of uncompressed audio tracks to enable comparing, for example, 24/96 and 16/44 tracks of the same recording. (I will require listeners to close their eyes so this will be a blind test).
DVD-V specs allow for uncompressed PCM audio. However, DVD-V authoring software typically does not allow for the sample and bit depth to be changed. That is, all of the authoring software I have access to will allow the creation of a DVD-V with a given sample rate and bit depth (say 24/96) but then up samples and down samples all tracks to meet this bit depth. Thus, no track to track comparison is possible.
DVD-A authoring software sometimes allows mirroring the DVD-A to a DVD-V portion of the DVD. However, while the DVD-A spec allows for (and encourages) a DVD-video section to make such discs universally playable, the DVD-V portion is mirrored in Dolby Digital AC3, a lossy format.
What I seek to accomplish may not be possible. Even AIX records, which specializes in 24/96 DVD-A recordings states "All of our DVD products are playable on DVD-Audio and DVD-Video machines (although the high-resolution audio is limited to the new DVD-Audio players)."
