In Reply to: Re: But no MLP support posted by Denis Powell on April 5, 2004 at 11:55:45:
As Denis correctly pointed out, Wavelab 5 does not support MLP. I can only suppose that this is a consequence of Meridian's/Dolby's licensing policy. The Meridian encoder currently is priced at $2500, as is Minnetonka's SurCode MLP - and the latter is basically a shell around the original Meridian encoder, with some features added. While I definitely think that Meridian/Dolby should reconsider their pricing, this has not yet happend. However, they will have to do something about it (why not put MLP in the public domain?): if you can get an authoring program for only $99, the current MLP price no longer fits.Steinberg obviously wants to sell a mass market product, so probably the inclusion of any encoding scheme that would have cost more than, say, $50 per license, was out of the question.
BTW: 96 kHz, 5 ch at 20 bits should be within the limits of a non-MLP DVD-Audio.
