Howdy!

Anybody know of any software like DVD Shrink that works with DVD-Audio disks???

Thanks!

None has been developed yet...

Thanks for your response.
I'm curious, though...
Does it represent a significant bit of engineering to develop a peice of software that will do a direct bit-copy of the contents of a DVD disk, wether a DVD Video or DVD-Audio?
I appreciate why DVD Shink indeed shrinks the disk content so it will fit on a "consumer" 4.7 Gig disk. But not all DVD V, and (probably no) DVD-A actually need to be "shrunk".
DVD-A offers lots of advantages over how music has been delivered up to this point, and it would be great to have the same "archiving" tools available to deal with this new format, don't you think?

Thanks Again...

I'm sure such software will show up in the near future...

I'm curious to know how the audio on DVD-A discs is encoded. If it's in a standard PCM or MPEG type format, recompression should be quick and easy with available tools, possibly just need to be run through some sort of authoring program afterwards depending on what sort of file structure audio DVD's use.

Not sure WHATS going on with DVD-A as far as file composition. The usual tools (DVD Shrink, DVD XCOPY, even NERO) won't deal with the problem. Interesting though, is that ONE DVD-A I have WAS able to be copied because (it seems) it had moving video in the playlist displays. IT copied the full audio with DTS 5.1 as well as the discreet surround...
