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

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

This allows one to create a DVD project, then import that project into another DVD structure. This should allow a DVD-A VTS to be imported, created with Bronze or similar. I think... I should give it a try.
***I think... I should give it a try.***Good idea :)
I remember trying to import a discwelder Video_TS and Audio_TS into another software to build a DAD, but for some reason it didn't work
Does DVDLab Pro allow 24/96? Is it easy to build a music DVD with it?
Importing isn't as easy as it sounds, the project into which a VTS is imported needs a VMG menu, the standard menus in the first project have to link up to this menu and the links have to share the same names across the projects. In other words, lots of hidden ways to mess up.> Does DVDLab Pro allow 24/96? <
Hi Eric and big thanks for detailed reply....
Yes it will be a disaster for me as I ve promised someone that If I start DIY dVDA then his DVD standard machine will be able to play my discs....Lets face it How many times have people on this forum mention DVDA discs being able to play on the billions of DVD machines worldwide.......Hope some of them can eat humble pie,......and if we see any one else posting such comments we should reply.....
As I have a dual machine I already knew I am ok.....
However which of the standard DAD type authorizing packages would you recommend..............................................................When I return I from states (2 weeks) I will bring up the subject of quietening down mains bourne noise( filters not fans)on the PC, as I know this is an overlooked and vital part of this subject....Dave
Most commercial DVD-A are authored with a DVD-V compatible group, and are therefore playable on "billions" of DVD players worldwide. The DVD-V material can be DTS, DD, or PCM(16/48 or 24/96 maybe other rates?).peace

Eric,16 to 24 bits, 48 or 96kHz are permissible for DVD-Video to be precise :-)
Regards,
John Kotches
But since you mention it, I think I have some DVD-Vs with lower than 48k resolution (transferred from VCD?), in particular a Depeche Mode "best of" DVD, I think it was 16/24 or 16/22. The sound was terrible :(Best
