I am disappointed at the limited number of DVD audio discs available (300-400). I tried to load a concert video DVD to see if I could listen to the sound track, no joy, the player spit the disc out.

So my next thought was to use an audio capture program to record the sound track as it played on my computer and save it as a high quality WAV file. This worked very well, and the sound is quite good. However, it is in 2 channel stereo.

It appears that I could upgrade my sound card to one that decodes and plays DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 and use a multi channel audio recorder to capture the surround sound channels and burn it to a DVD. I would then be able to add the concert DVD sound tracks to my available DVD audio discs.

Has anyone done or attempted this? Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Jim,

I've done this several months ago. This was on my old computer equiped with a basic SB Live! sound card. There are software available to extract surround sound but you also need to re-write the information corectly in DVD-A format.

I'll dig in my old hard drive and get you the name of the software I used back then. If I'm not mistaken, it was "DVD Audio Extractor" for the extraction and "DVD-Audio Solo" for authoring. I think "DVD-Audio Solo" can also extract but I had problems with this part. Also, use DVD-R... the TL likes'em better.

I'll come back to confirm the above info in a few days.

Good luck!

Carl
