It's Digital Versatile Disc, and It Can Hold a Lot of Music!There's plenty of argument over whether the DVD acronym is for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc, but either way, the CD is miniscule in comparison. Each layer of a DVD can store approximately 4.37 GB, more than 7 times the capacity of the Compact Disc. Since DVD-A is about music, how much music data can you store? Well, a lot isn’t descriptive, so here is a chart.
Sampling Depth Sampling Rate No. of Channels Time w/o MLP Time w/ MLP
24-Bit 96 kHz 5.1 N/A * 100 Minutes
24-Bit 96 kHz 6 N/A * 86 Minutes
24-Bit 96 kHz 2 150 Minutes 240 Minutes
24-Bit 192 kHz 2 75 Minutes 120 Minutes
16-Bit 44.1 kHz 2 420 Minutes 720 Minutes
16-Bit 44.1 kHz 1 840 Minutes 1500 Minutes* Two of the formats exceed the allowable bandwidth off the drive as per the DVD specification (9.6 Mbit/second) so these formats carry an N/A. While it is possible to store 24-bit / 192 KHz without lossless compression, the discs we have access to at this time with 24-bit / 192 KHz data use MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) compression, and we suspect that this will be the norm for all 24-bit / 192 KHz discs due to the extremely limited playback time without MLP.
above is extract from DVD Benchmark....PS. There are other lossless codes out there FREE...
