I have found that Porcupine Tree is one of the few groups that allow DVD-As to be copied to a DVD (Todd Rundgren is another). I used to use Dvd-next copy(?) for this. I had an '04 TL and fell in love with DVD-As. Bummed that my '15 TLX does not have this, as the '15 RDX I had as a loaner did.

Beatles Love DVD-A is 5.1
I have run into trouble with a few discs using audio extractor. In particular, the DVD Audio of the Beatles Love album (for the Cirque de Soleil show) extracts only 2 channels. I have tried using the automatic setting and browsing the audio and video folders. I still only get two channel. Now the Blueray player in my computer does not play DVD Audio and I am wondering if this is the trouble. However, for each of these tracks Audio Extractor shows 6 channel sound. Anyone know what is going on or what I am doing incorrectly?

Blu-Ray copy problems
I really like the Diana Krall Live in Rio concert Blu-Ray. I used my trusty DVDAE to extract the files, and used my trusty PowerISO to make two DTS-CDs of it. First, the sound was a little scratchy, second there did not seem to be anything coming out of the rear speakers. I made sure I selected the 6CH tracks in DVDAE. Bummed.

I have the Beatles Love DVD-A/CD combo back, and extracted the DVD-A using DVDAE. Yes, it was too big, so Using PowerISO (A very nice piece of software, ignore the trial warning about 300MB being the max, it can fill up a CD!), to break the disk in half (and cloning the .cue file to create a -1 and -2 title file pointing to the same .dtswav file) I found 6 channel sound on ALL the tracks. You can hear different instruments coming out of all the channels.
Every once in a while I have to re-create the wav file because they can be scratchy.
I just got the Trilogy Version of ELP's Trilogy set, comes with re-mixed to 6 channel DVD-A... creating the DTS-CD now to play on my cross town errand run

The 2016 ILX, and now the recently announced 2016 RDX, both support DVD-A discs with the ELS setup (although neither support DTS).
Not sure why there isn't some consistency across the Acura models for the ELS system- but maybe I'll just hang onto all my DVD-A discs for when my lease is up... in case the 2018 TLX has it again!

I don't have that many DVD-A's that make it worth it to buy a CD-burner and figure out if there is software to make it happen for the Macs...

No need. I'm a Mac guy too, and DVD Audio Extractor has a build for us. Works quite well.

I have a MacBook Pro with an internal CD/DVD reader. Am I understanding correctly that this software will allow me to extract 5.1 audio files from , DVD, DVD-Audio and Bluray discs?
I also have a Denon Universal player. Is there a way to transfer audio files from the Denon to the Mac?
Thanks!

You can transfer digital audio from your DVD player via its optical audio out and into the Mac's mic/audio input, which uses a 3.5mm "headphone" style plug but also has an optical receiver that can be used with a special cable. Check a reputable source such as monoprice.com for decently priced quality cables.

Yes, that is correct. As was mentioned by another poster, it has a 30 day trial to test with.

I have just tried to convert a couple of Blu-rays using the old setup but I seem to have trouble with copy protection. I had to download a new version of DVDFab9 and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have been using DVDFab9 with DVDAE. I cannot get DVDAE to work. It closes down. I tried using MakeMKV and it does create copies that are free of copy protection. But when I point to the file in DVDAE it doesn't show the chapters so I cannot pick chapters to burn.

dvdae problem(?)
Hi
I am considering a 2017 Acura MDX, I know that dvda will not be available, however I saw a few news releases that dts cd was supported. My problem is I have been trying to create DTSCD from DVD-audio's discs using DVD audio extractor and Nero. My results have been disappointing. Playback on my OPPO BDP-83 with these burned cd's are not very good, I am hearing alot of chirping and distortions (muddy and scratching kind of noise). Anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? maybe my Home Theater?
