In Reply to: OK, so my 47Ai won't do >30-34 tracks in Group 1? posted by Michi on April 9, 2003 at 00:59:30:
Michi,The limitation is 30 to 34 files (sometimes less) in Group 1, but only if they are PCM files (WAV or AIFF).
If the files are encoded in MLP, no problem at all. As soon as you have more than one group, you can have more files in total. So in practice, this is almost never a limitation for commercial titles, which have several groups and are encoded in MLP for MCH tracks. Some commercial titles also have limitations, and the pulishers group the number of tracks into larger tracks (1-4, 5-8, etc). The Teldec Matthaus Passion is an interesting example of structure.This is definitely a limitation of Pioneer models (including universal players like Marantz and Onkyo), because other brands like Toshiba, Technics, Panasonic, etc, do not have that problem. I don't know about the Yamaha and the new Denon.

PS; I discovered very recently that the limitation of the number of files in a group (the DVD-A spec allows for up to 99 tracks in a single group) actually includes each file of multichannel tracks (1 track in 5.1 = 6 files). So, in effect, if you do not use MLP, the number of multichannel tracks allowed is actually much lower. I'll post something about this soon, as I am still checking with various combinations.
I suspect the Pioneer software problem is somehow related to this.
