New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Ahem

Dave,

I'm not sure that's your question, but YES, discs authored with discWelder Bronze (stereo or multichannel) will require a DVD-Audio compatible player. And NO, it won't be a disaster, because there's over 120 DVD-Audio compatible models on the market, with a significant number below $250 now. DVD-Audio compatible players are a commodity, people will just pick one up if they want to make their DVD-A discs. The cost of blank DVD/R/RW discs is much more of an issue than the cost of a player at this point.

If you want to author a disc that will play on the "billions of DVD players in the world" (sic :) you need to author a DVD-V, and you can use a number of standard authoring packages (look in the archives, this has been discussed many times).

If you want to author a disc with both DVD-Audio and DVD-Video content, you need to 1) author each structure and 2) import them in your DVD project. Very few software packages allow this at the moment, and they are priced well above $99...

Apparently, the new version of Wavelab may be able to do it (see thread above), so if that's what you really want, perhaps you should check it out.

I hope this helps

Eric

BTW, Minnetonka says their discs have no problem with the Pioneer 563, they had problems and worked it out with Pioneer. There's an update for existing Steel and Chrome users that takes care of the Pioneer issue, available under Technical Support
