This looks like the type of thing many of us might want to try!
Time limited Free trial that allows you to burn 7 discs.
No MLP obviously but it does support up to 192kHz

Look at the open source project
According to their site the open source DVD-Audio authoring software is "still in the early stages of development".
I have looked at your system Christine and surely $34.95 is well within your reach!!!
the software *is* usable and provide the same basic functionality (just a bit harder to use, ok, maybe a *lot* harder) :-)*** surely $34.95 is well within your reach ***
well, i think Wavelab is already more than sufficient for my needs - it offers more functionality, such as the ability to rip (unprotected) DVD-As back into wave files. The latest version of Samplitude may be even better, but mucho dollars.
Besides, I don't believe in upsampling, and i certainly wouldn't trust the resample quality of a $34.95 package. But that's just me.
The trouble with that Sourceforge project is that it is reverse engineered, and developed by "Analysing" commercial discs.
This is never going to produce a disc that will give reliable and correct playback.Free is not necessarily better.....

Reverse engineering is arguably more reliable, because it duplicates reality, as opposed to specs. As we all know, not all authoring programs or all players adhere to the specs, so I would rather trust a program that uses the same format as existing discs that play on existing players rather than something built from the scratch based on a dubious interpretation of a spec book.Remember, every PC in the world today with an Award or AMI BIOS is based on partial reverse engineering of the IBM PC-AT BIOS (IBM published the original IBM PC BIOS, but not the AT BIOS or the PS/2 BIOS). Remember when the word "IBM PC clone"?
Sorry, I cannot agree with that statement.
The specs were written by consultation with all parties, and reverse engineering is not a good idea.It's just a cheap attempt to try & avoid buying the spec books.
There is quite simply no way that it can be a good application this way.
(I strongly suspect we will have to agree to differ though.

All Wintel PCs are based on partial reverse engineering. You can't buy a "Genuine IBM PC" anymore, since IBM no longer makes PCs.
