Re: Is it possible to put 24 Bit PCM audio on a DVD video?

O.k. I have successfully created a DVD-Video with 24/48 audio, and not only that, but 24/96 audio as well. For the 24/96 bitrate of 4608 kb/s, I had to render my video at a max bitrate of 5000 kb/s. I was working w/ a Hi8 master, and cannot tell a difference in picture quality versus a 8000 max bitrate. This brings new meaning to the picture being half the experience, and the audio being the other half. Literally. Your DVD player must be capable of outputting a 96k signal, as well as your receiver. Otherwise it will be down-sampled to 48k and not use all 24 bits. This was accomplished with DVD Lab PRO 2.0. Again, Sony DVD Architect is not capable of this. But working w/ 24/96 WAV's can be tricky, because most programs will not work with WAV files over 2GB in size. SoundForge, Vegas included in those programs which cannot handle it. But there is a loop hole, so to speak. If there are any questions about that, I can answer them.
