Does anyone know if there is a way to download DVD-A music other than classical and jazz? Or if there is a way to convert mp3 type files into 5.1 surround format to play through the stock system?

 

Welcome to the board. I see this is your first post so I'll help you out on a few things to keep in mind. Search first, if no results then search again. Still search more then of nothing ask your questions.

Download DVD-A, Unlikely unless it is specifically not copy protected. It's not a simple thing to rip an MLP DVD-A (like commercial ones). DVD-A isn't that popular so it's not been worth while to develop cracks for it.

Mp3 to DVDA is possible. There is my program (free) as well as a better one called Cirlinca DVD Audio Solo. Its around $40 USD and well, well worth it. If you get Solo then you can use my other scripts called the Adobinizer to convert stereo wave files to 6 channel files you can put on DVD-A

Read the first 3 threads in my signature block for more info. Then search up and read some more. This is one of the most written about item in this section.

 

I've tried these and couldn't get them to work, I've made 4 Frisbees to date. they wont play in my car. i used dvd-r's and followed the directions to the letter except the part about editing scripts (that parts a little over my head).

 

Same here. I've given up on making DVD-A's

 

Yeah I hoave follwoed many of the various "How To's" on copyinmg copy-protected DVD-As via WinDVD hack, but they still blank out after 10 seconds. Shame, DVD-A people woudl have way more sales if I could copy my discs and bring copies in the car, I rarely leave originals int he car, also I do like carving up music and making my own play list. I guess DVD-A will stay at home on my Home Theater, its a shame becasue there a some really good DVD-A discs on the market that really show off the ELS in the TL.

 

Getting true DVD-A copies is next to impossoble, but what I have been doing is since many DVD-A also have a PCM, Dobly or DTS track is well is I extract that with DVD Audio Extractor. You can then at least get a higher quality audio and then burn migrate it to DVD-A using either Discwelder Bronze or Cirlinca's DVD Audio Solo. If you want the multi-channel you can extract to individual wave files and then I know in Discwelder you can use those wavs to recreate multi-channel DVD-A. Not the same as a true DVD-A copy, but better than CD for sure. What really blows is I have found no way to copy DTS CDs. Also I am finding not all DVD-A or DTS CD's are really exploiting the true higher fidelity. I see many at 24bits and 48khz, while better than CD, that is pretty much the same as standard DTS or Dobly Digital. Newer DTS[96] or DVD-A can do 24-bits at 96khz.

The Blue Man Group Complex DVD-A has DVD-A and DTS 24bit 96khz and 2 channel 24bit 48khz options
