Open Source DVD-Audio authoring program released

Have had a Toshiba with onboard 24/192,DVD-A...but until I build my new puter can't burn DVD-but this app will get me on that project quicker

Bravo! Looks excellent, and cross-platform is so key.

Now I just need to get a DVD-audio player... I've been doing the video compatible DVD thing.

Thanks a bunch for the work!

Don't have a DVD-A player at the moment, but this looks quite impressive for future use. Cheers for the effort, as well as offering it on the Mac OS!

I've just released another "alpha" version of dvda-author. Like the previous versions, it's available here:

http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/alpha/

To summarise, the current features of dvda-author are:

* 9 Groups of tracks, each group containing up to 99 tracks (the DVD-A limits)
* 16-bit and 24-bit Stereo and 16-bit mono (24-bit mono may work, but is untested)
* All 6 DVD-A samplerates (44.1KHz, 48KHz, 88.2KHz, 96KHz, 176.4KHz and 192KHz)
* Gapless playback
* Open Source - Source code available under the terms of the GNU GPL
* Cross platform - Windows binary available, source code can be compiled almost anywhere, including Linux and Mac OS X.

Next on my to-do list (in no particular order) are multi-channel support, FLAC input support and a GUI version.

I've just finished incorporating native FLAC decoding into dvda-author. So you can now author DVD-Audio discs directly from a set of FLACs.

There's a new alpha release available with this functionality:
