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

what I'm really worried about is compatibility. I'm making a DVD to share and I don't know if it will screw up in some people's players

here's another quote fron that link:

Unfortunately, while it is possible to create a DVD-Video soundtrack with high-resolution audio, it is not possible to guarantee that the viewer will actually hear the sound at full resolution. Many DVD-Video players decimate 96kHz audio to 48kHz prior to D/A conversion, and some players also truncate 20- and 24-bit samples to 16 bits. In addition, the majority of DVD-Video players on the market provide only two outputs for discrete audio channels.

^so would that cause quantization errors or whatever or would it just sound like 16 bit?
