![]() You have to relink it every compile yet if. It will import it, but if you have to recompile it will not actually muultiplex the DTS stream - even though it is listed in the "success report" it is not actually there in the VTS multiplex. ![]() DVD-Lab Pro also allows you to turn off the abstraction layer at compile time, which is essential.īoth these tools have their problems, quirks & peculiarities though, such as DVD-Lab Pro is not happy using. If I have to use a slideshow then I use DVD-Lab Pro, as this allows me to create an "Audio-Only" stream - essentially an I-Frame slideshow with addressable chapter marks but created at Cell level for the images. This is because it creates the separate images at the wrong level (VOBU instead of CELL) so whilst I can set up a timed slideshow to a high res stereo stream, you would not be able to access individual tracks. ![]() Scenarist cannot create a slideshow with song markers that can be addressed. Video_TS is done with either Scenarist SD or Media Chance Labs DVD-Lab Pro 2 (both on Windows 7 64-bit systems) depending on the content. Sonic Scenarist SD, with the DTS MAS series encoder & the SurCode AC3 encoder (when used) on a Windows 7 64-bit system (Scenarist SD is a 32-bit application though) DVD-Audio/Video discs: Our authoring systems are a combination of tools, depending on exactly what we need to get done so here goes: DVD-Video discs: Only just spotted this thread, as we have been kinda very busy lately (hence the slowdown in activity lately) If the folks at (who make DVDLab Pro) did a DVD-A tool it'd probably be a couple hundred dollars and be a heck of a lot easier to use than Sonic's software :howl Maybe I'll make that suggestion to them - can't hurt to try The problem is a lot of the "heavy lifting" for navigation and the like needs to be done using Scenarist scripting and documentation for that is as hard or harder to find as for DVD-Audio Creator. Thus you don't need Sonic Studio HD or One Click DVD at all - if you can create the audio files using the compressors/editors of your choice that's fine, ditto for the menus, etc. From what I can see Creator isn't a single/integrated program but rather a set of near-commandline type of programs that assemble pre-made assets. I finally did find a draft copy of the DVD-Audio Creator user guide (incomplete with sections "Under construction" or with gibberish text). Maybe there's hope for the software tooĭocumentation (user guides, etc) about Sonic's products is in exceedingly difficult to find (when Sonic went away the information went away too it seems) - most of the links that come up are to bogus/questionable download sites. ![]() Wikipedia's article mentions the format being extinct in 2007 so it's quite interesting to see new discs coming out today. There does seem to be an increased interest in DVD-A today. Sonic Studio HD is the "add on" component that handles the Audio preparation, and you also need "One Click DVD" to deal with the MLP and LPCM encoding.ĭVD-Audio Creator is an authoring solution for mastering audio, video and graphical elements prepared in complementary applications from Sonic" It will expect to see Sonic Studio HD for one. $5,000 to $15,000 a throw and it makes a lot of assumptions about what is installed. "Comes in a couple of flavours - DVD-Audio Creator LE and full versions Neil said this in April 2005 (it's from a QQ post) about DVD-Audio Creator Nothing on Minnetonka's website mentions it (I haven't found any references yet). until recently - it was only last night, while looking for information about Sonic's products, I saw a reference to M.A.S.S. Not a problem - I've done the same thing, jump into a conversation without reading the whole thing. ![]() So other than those three programs what is there and what is being used today for the DVD-A discs that are being produced today? Inquiring minds want to know The mental image of the world's DVD-A production depending on an XP system in a lab wobbles the mind :yikes That leaves the Sonic DVD Creator product - another long discontinued piece of software - that according to Neil doesn't run well on systems past Windows XP. The Cirlinca product doesn't handle active menus at all from what I can see and specifically says there's no support for MLP audio - which almost all DVD-A discs use. quite plainly says that the nice active menus without gaps can't be done - yet all (or many) of the DVD-A discs I have play without gaps or the buttons going off/on at the track changes. Maybe Neil will chime in but given all the things written about Discwelder Chrome I doubt he's using that - it wasn't a professional piece of software even when it was new. ![]()
