I wonder if we are talking about the same thing. I went to the K3B site
and found no mention of DVD-Audio (DVD-A). I am talking about the up to
6 channel high resolution DVD-A format that has nothing to do with the
audio tracks burned on ordinary CDs or DVDs. It is a very high
resolution audio format that is recorded on a DVD just as SACD is a
special high resolution format that is recorded on a CD. Both formats
require modern players that can read them, although some release hybrid
discs with an added normal degraded audio track that will play on older
CD and DVD players. Some commercial releases are available in both
formats. See http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/ for professional programs
used to create and process DVD-A discs. I am using the Diskwelder
bronze program to create and burn basic DVD-A discs. This basic
program costs $US 100. Some of the pro programs they have for mixing
multi channels and encoding them to multi channel formats such as Dolby
surround, and adding graphics to the DVD-A discs, as you need to do if
you are reconding DVD-A for commercial release, cost into the thousands
of dollars. Also notice that these programs are available in Windows
and Mac versions.
