Sorry for not being clear, I meant using discWelderIf you use DVD-V software, you will need to resample your files, or let the authoring software do it. If you do that, it's probably wise to do the resampling through a real audio software (like Audition, etc), and make a comparison with the resampled files of your DVD authoring software, because some of them do it in a quick and dirty way.
If you need a DVD-Audio test disc to check your player compatibility, get in touch with me (your profile does not allow emails)

Follow Ups:
Eric,Thanks for your kind offer and explanations.
I believe my "Universal" Pioneer DV-47A (or 747A in the US) is quite compatible with DVD-Audio. I have a dozen or so DVD-A disks and they all play fine. Or are there more compatibility issues I need to worry about?
Regarding re-sampling software from 44.1 to 48Khz, I believe you mentioned Audition which is a standalone audio editing product. Would general purpose products like Nero or Roxio do a decent job? Or are there good shareware out there? I cannot afford to buy a dedicated Audio editing product, as you can see I am an audio amateur.

Music Lover,there is an issue with Pioneer players (first generation, I believe), so you may want to check the archives. Some models refuse to play more than 32 (sometimes less) tracks in a single group. This is not an issue with commercial discs (which have fewer than 30 tracks in a group), this is only a problem with home made discs (if you stuff 7 CDs in a disc, you are likely to exceed that limit, this is why I'm warning you about this). Some players also have the problem, and some don't (Denon, Panasonic, Toshiba, maybe others)
As for Audition, all I'm saying is that you ought to compare the result of a standalone audio app for resampling vs the built-in resampling function of some software. I don't remember if Roxio and Nero do that, I only use DVD-Architect for making music DVDs, because it's so simple. But I use Cool Edit Pro (now called Adobe Audition) to do all the upsampling first, and author those files. It's work, but there's a batch feature in CEP which makes it possible to do it at night or during your work day.
I remember reading that there's good shareware for resampling, you have to look around, a good starting point is Doom9, hydrogenaudio, etc.
I hope this helps
Eric
Thanks Eric, you have been a great help!the 32 songs limit seems like a pretty bad limitation. That further un-justify my purchase of any professional disc making software to try-out. I will wait for some cheaper alternative to surface.
I do know that the 30 tracks limitation does not apply to DVD audio. I have this truly magnificient disc (Bach Magnificat, see link, highly recommended) that has 52 tracks of true heaven.
They were grouped into individual tracks. It is an endless list of wonderful music, all 2.5 hours of it.Could the limitations mentioned for this unit be for DVD-Video tracks only?
Sorry, didn't see your responseNo the limitation is for DVD-A tracks. But if you can access each of the 52 tracks individually within a single Group, then it means there is a way around this problem and it depends on the authoring.
In any event, there should be no problem with DVD-Video discs

Can you actually access each of the individual tracks on the listing or are they grouped into larger sections like "movements"
(I don't remember my EMI titles, which I have lent to a friend, but the Teldec titles that I have are grouped into movements)Best
